Large cities such as Vancouver, Burnaby, New York and San Francisco have amended their bylaws to welcome the honeybee into backyards. The Kelowna bylaw is old and antiquated.
Beekeeping is a vital practice, one essential to the health of our urban environment and has tremendous potential as a vehicle for economic development and education efforts everywhere.
I propose that the City of Kelowna amend the bylaw and allow hobby beekeeping in our community as a sustainability effort to help support the urban agricultural movement.

We, the undersigned, call on the Kelowna city council to amend Kelowna Bylaw 5421-82 Section 2(g) to allow "backyard beekeeping" of the domestic honey bee (apis mellifera) within smaller residentially zoned properties.
