Englewood allows domestic poultry under its animal code and beekeeping appears to be permitted under Chapter 7 regulations. Bees and hives must not create nuisance conditions (odor, uncleanliness, sound). Colorado's Bee and Bee Products Act provides the state framework.
Englewood's animal code (Title 7, Chapter 1 - Animals and Fowl) regulates animal keeping within city limits. The city permits domestic poultry (chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, pigeons, doves, pheasants) and beekeeping appears to fall under these animal regulations. All animals and fowl must not create nuisance conditions: it is unlawful to keep animals or fowl which by reason of odor, uncleanliness, disease, sound, or cry disturb the peace and comfort of any neighborhood. Colorado's Bee and Bee Products Act through the Department of Agriculture provides the statewide regulatory framework. Beekeepers should maintain hives responsibly, provide water sources, and ensure bees do not congregate on neighboring properties.
