My property is 1/3 of an acre on a ravine with forest in the back yard. Unfortunately, the only place to put a hive is at the extreme back portion of the property near the chain link fence. This would violate the 30M rule and the hive would be in dappled shade during the temperate months. I find it interesting that given the particularly dire state of beekeeping in North America at the moment that the Ontario stature virtually guarantees that there with be practically NO urban beekeeping going on under the current rules. Can I keep bees or will I get in trouble?

He was a crazed, lunatic insect, that wouldn’t leave me alone. I ran and tried to hide, but he found me. When I turned my back to him…ZAP…he got me in the butt. I had just come out of the creek (I was bathing), so I didn’t have any clothes on. It swelled up pretty big and hurt like hell.
