Someone will object.
Well, the HOA rules in our Village lists what animals can be kept as "pets," and it doesn't include bees.
I suspect that bees kept in an on-premises beehive would be considered "livestock" and prohibited.
We had a friend die last week from anaphylactic shock in reaction to a single bee sting. There are many who suffer from acute reaction to bee stings, so opposition to keeping a bee hive on residential property would probably meet much opposition.
I had a feral bee hive establish itself in a large owl house in my back yard, and kept it for a couple of years until Africanized killer bees were discovered in the Port of Tampa, and owners of feral hives were asked to destroy them. I really enjoyed having the bees around, and was never stung.
