(A) Hives cannot be located in the front yard and must be located a minimum of ten feet from the rear or side property lines and 20 feet from public rights-of-way unless further restricted elsewhere in this code. A corner lot shall be considered to have two front yards.
(B) Hives must be located a minimum of ten feet from any adjacent dwelling unit.
(C) Except as otherwise provided in this section, in each instance where any part of a hive is kept within 25 feet of a lot line of the apiary site, a flyway barrier of at least six feet in height must be constructed.
(1) The flyway barrier must consist of a wall, fence, or dense vegetation that requires honey bees to fly over, rather than through, the barrier.
(2) If a dense vegetation flyway barrier is used, the initial planting may be a minimum of four feet in height, but the vegetation must reach a height of at least six feet within two years after installation.
(4) The flyway barrier must continue parallel to the lot line of the apiary site for at least ten feet in both directions from the hive or must contain the hive or hives in an enclosure at least six feet in height.
(5) A flyway barrier is not required if the hive is located on a rooftop.
