Hobby beekeeping in residential neighborhoods presents no probable danger to residents. Bees and other stinging insects will, of course, be in all of our neighborhoods at some density despite any zoning rules. I suspect that there are natural beehives hives in (or very close to) many neighborhoods, as well.

If residents are not allowed to keep bees in the township, where are beekeepers allowed to keep their bees in this area? This resident's bees do not pose a serious health and safety risk to the citizens of Millcreek such that the government has reason to violate her Constitutional right to utilize her own property in a safe manner. Please allow the bees to stay. Thank you.

It's a shame that a harmless activity can cause such an uproar due to a lack of education and information among residents and political constituents of Millcreek Township. Please do not compare commercial beekeeping to small time local beekeepers. Bees are the reason we have food to eat, honey to enjoy, and are an integral portion of our complex food system.

Humans need bees! In a time of devastating bee colony collapse, we should celebrate any healthy hives, not penalize their keepers.

For over 5 years as administrator of Real Coastal Warriors we have fought BP for the truth, and given a voice to those who can not speak. Once again we raise our voices in strength and solidarity for those in nature whose voice is being silenced, and we stand strong with those standing up for our environment and the protection and proliferation of all species which our lives depend on. Thank you Millcreek beekeepers!

Thanks to the bees, my berries and vegetable garden are doing well. I live across the street and when I am doing my yardwork & weeding in the flower beds, the bees are focused on their job and they pay no attention to me. This area was farmland when my parents moved here in 1956. Without Bees, there will be no food.

My parents neighbor raised bees in Millcreek in the 70's with no problem. He didn't do it for $$$, just to have his own honey. It's not a real moneymaker unless you have thousands of hives. With all that has been happening with the bee population, why is this even a problem?

I have bees on my property in Millcreek Township. I purposefully cultivate the landscaping to invite them. I do not use chemicals so that they will live. I want us all to live. Are you going to cut down my landscaping to remove the bees? Please also demand Asbury Woods cease maintaining beehives and teaching beekeeping classes and selling beekeeping supplies! Your actions here are questionable...I will remember this next election.

There is really no issue here. Millcreek Township itself keeps bees at Asbury Woods and Browns Farm - anyone ever hear of an issue with any of these hives. Of the thousands of people that use these facilities how many even know they are around bees.
