Beekeeping in Euless is regulated by zoning and TX Agriculture Code Chapter 131. Typical rules: hive setbacks, flyway barriers, on-site water, and TAIS registration for 6+ hives.
Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 131 governs beekeeping statewide through the Texas Apiary Inspection Service (TAIS) at Texas A&M. Euless does not broadly prohibit beekeeping but regulates it through zoning and nuisance ordinances under Code Chapter 10 and Chapter 82. Best practices adopted by Euless typically include: hive setbacks of at least 10 feet from property lines, 25 feet from dwellings, flyway barriers (6-foot solid fences) if hives are within 10 to 25 feet of a property line, and on-site water source to prevent bees from visiting neighbors pools. Beekeepers with more than 6 hives must register with TAIS. Ag exemption for ten or more colonies may provide tax benefits.
