[QUOTE="Grant, post: 2077, member: 1"] Auckland Council compliance investigations team manager Kerri Fergusson says they’ve identified a commercial beekeeper who was dropping a couple of hives at the different properties around the area. “When you put the whole thing together… it's far too many and that's where the nuisance came,” Fergusson said. The beekeeper was initially warned and stopped operating for a time but resurfaced again at the end of last year. Now he's been issued with an abatement notice and ordered to remove his hives from the area or face fines ranging from $740,000 for a one-off infringement to $300,000 if charged and convicted in court. Fergusson says the council is going to improve how they identify beekeepers and where necessary, hold them accountable.
