A. Where beekeeping and nonagricultural uses exist side by side, beekeeping occasionally becomes the subject of nuisance complaints. It is the intent of this chapter to clarify the circumstances under which beekeeping shall be considered a nuisance.

B. This chapter is intended to address beekeeping complaints on individual properties, by either the withdrawal of beekeeping privileges or abatement through statutory nuisance procedures.

C. This chapter is intended to be supplemental to the procedures in Chapter 15.60 RCW, and in case of any conflict, Chapter 15.60 RCW shall govern. (Ord. 961 § 1, 2004. Formerly 6.10.010).
