A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish certain requirements of sound beekeeping practices for hobby beekeeping. These practices are intended to avoid problems that may otherwise result from the keeping of bees in populated areas.
B. In addition to the requirements set forth in this chapter, all beekeepers shall maintain their bee colonies in a manner that complies with the provisions of the Illinois bees and apiaries act, or any successor thereto, as amended.
C. Notwithstanding compliance with the various requirements of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any beekeeper to keep any colony or colonies in such a manner or of such disposition as to cause any unhealthy condition, interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of human or animal life, or interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of any public property or property of others.
