Ewa Gentry's residential zoning does not allow beekeeping as an accessory use, and Gentry subdivision covenants further prohibit hives in yards or common areas.
ROH Chapter 21 restricts beekeeping to zoning districts that permit agriculture, usually as an accessory use under Article 5. Ewa Gentry is zoned for single-family residential and apartment uses on the Ewa Plain, so hives are not a permitted accessory. Gentry Homes master-planned CCRs additionally prohibit beekeeping and other agricultural activities in residential lots. Pending Bill 10 and Bill 65 LUO redraft proposals would add minimum lot size and hive count caps if adopted, but would still depend on underlying zoning. State apiary registration under HRS 152 is mandatory for any operator statewide.
