Urban Beekeeping
To promote beekeeping and support the local agricultural industry, the City of Chilliwack has adopted text amendments to the Zoning Bylaw and an Urban Beekeeping Bylaw to allow residents of Chilliwack to keep bees in urban areas. The Urban Beekeeping Bylaw includes regulations regarding the location and number of beehives permitted on a property and will serve to ensure healthy beekeeping practices are followed in order to manage the spread of disease through colonies and prevent aggressive behaviours.
