I want to know how you define "keeping bees". What if a guy has an old shed that the bees decide will make a nice place to live? Is he a bee keeper? If you want to limit it to people that have those little white boxes, what if the bees moved in on thier own? This stinks....they are honey bees, not yellow jackets.report abuseRMW

Bees can be just as much of a nuisance. Glad I don't live in the area and have to deal with it.report abuse

Yes, we are reducing the fees. We have also put in a place a chicken coop ordinance and now the doggers want a park. It's like a cross between Key West and Cuckoo-ville. Oh and we are tearing out all of the public basketball hoops because they attract teens....and replacing them with chess tables so the old people will have a place to sit and sloch around in their depends on a hot summer day. You people think I am kidding?! And we have an Armory, that cost a fortune and we store our lawn equipment in it! And yes, we are going to be our own state some day, that's why we have the armory and all this oil! Think about it and we are painting the storage tanks to resemble moonbeams so it distracts you and BAMMMMM! You're done.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment.
