Asbury Park does not maintain a local beekeeping ordinance. The NJ Department of Agriculture regulates beekeeping statewide under N.J.S.A. 4:6-1 et seq. All apiaries must be registered with the State Apiarist, who has authority to inspect for disease and order destruction of diseased colonies. Beekeepers should manage hives to avoid creating a nuisance to neighbors. Asbury Park's urban density means good neighbor practices are especially important: providing water sources, maintaining flight paths away from neighboring properties, and managing swarm prevention. The city's nuisance provisions would apply to complaints about bees. Rooftop beekeeping has become popular in urban NJ communities.
Unauthorized hives: removal order. Nuisance complaints: mediation then fines. State registration violation: NJ Dept of Agriculture enforcement.
