Apr. 30--CLOSTER, N.J. -- A 1983 law prohibiting beekeeping in the borough has been debated for months.

Now, health officials are looking into amending the law slightly to allow honeybee hives in the Closter Nature Center.

"We are reaffirming the ordinance," Board of Health Chairman Donald Winters said Thursday. "We have put some teeth in it, but basically it's the same as it has been all along."

The measure, introduced last week, isn't backed by everyone. Michael Rothchild, a board member who voted against the introduction, said he is in favor of unrestricted bee cultivation in Closter. He said he had hoped the board would have allowed honeybees to be kept at the town-owned MacBain Farm Park.
