Save The Bees in Santa Monica

Result:
On December 14, 2010, the Santa Monica City Council and Mayor Bloom unanimously voted to lift the ban on bee keeping in the city, with a 2 hive limit. Thank you so much for your support. I only wish I could thank everyone personally who signed my petition.

We, the undersigned, support:

1. Repeal of Municipal code 4.04.130 legalizing beekeeping in the city of Santa Monica, Bee Rescue, and the creation of a legal bee yard within city limits that will operate as a secure, temporary holding area for feral honeybee colonies that are awaiting relocation to agricultural zones outside city limits.

2. Change the city of Santa Monica’s current response to feral honeybee swarms (which is extermination), and to allow live bee removal, only involving swarms, on city and public property within Santa Monica city limits.

This petition is now closed.
