[QUOTE="Matthew Brajkovich, post: 4529, member: 406"] I have be informed today that there are proposed changes that will make having bees in suburbia almost un workable, and restricted to one box. Proposed changes to Te Kaunihera ō Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā-rohe Tiaki Kararehe 2015 / the Auckland Council Animal Management Bylaw 2015 I have sent this to you just to be sure you and the bee keeping community give public feed back on this. You need to ensure you respond to the internal size of a bee hive. Currently they say a bee hive is only one Langstroth dimension box. - so only 2 supers per property. Personally I like to use 2 brood boxes in Summer to help stop swarming and go up 2 honey supers. [4 total] Then in winter reduce to one brood box super. Then some times I may catch a swarm and so have 2 bee hives on a property. 3 hives is too much work. We need to make submissions so it can captured in the public consultation doc. Please help correct the policy makers [lawyers who understand nothing about bees & nature] with a wave of response for the bee keeping community. .............................................................................
