Bee Friendly San Diego


We undersigned propose that County of San Diego Agricultural Commission amends its County of San Diego code of regulatory ordinances, and all other cities in the county adapt the same rule. The current beekeeping ordinance of 600 feet requirement is very restrictive and unnecessary. Tile 6 sections 62.922 and 62.923 of the current ordinance make beekeeping impossible. Bees are critically needed pollinators, one essential to the health of our environment. Therefore, we propose that the current rules get changed to 25 feet, so that residents could keep bees in urban and rural settings.



What do cities like Seattle, Portland, Denver, Spokane, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Atlanta have that San Diego can%u2019t give. These cities have 25 feet requirement for keeping bees in the city. CCD (colony collapse disorder) and climate change requires that we take care of our bee population urgently or 90% of our food source will disappear along with our keen pollinators.



According to experts if bees continue to disappear at this rate, it is estimated that we will not have any bees left by 2035. Albert Einstein once predicted that if bees are eliminated from our planet; mankind would soon perish in a matter of years. Therefore, to keep our livelihood secure we have to make our city bee friendly. At this time we are asking for your help to make this change possible.
