Closter, N.J., May Allow Honeybee Hives at Nature Center.
Byline: Monsy Alvarado
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.
"They have placed an unnecessary restriction," Rothchild said. "It seems that the vast majority of towns in New Jersey ... don't have an ordinance like this ... why we should be in a tiny minority, I don't understand. It seems to be wrong."
The ordinance allows a maximum of two honeybee hives to be kept for "formal educational purposes" on borough owned property that is at least 25 acres. The hives must not be taller than 5 1/2 feet and must be protected by a fence that is always locked. Hives cannot be located within 100 feet of any residence, except the beekeepers', or within 25 feet of any road, sidewalk, or path.
