Henderson allows residential beekeeping as an accessory use under HMC Title 7 and Title 19 with setback limits. Beekeepers must register apiaries annually with the Nevada Dept. of Agriculture under NRS 552.
Henderson permits hobbyist beekeeping on residential lots as an accessory use when hives are set back from property lines, kept in good condition, and do not create a nuisance under HMC Chapter 7.04. Typical residential standards require hive entrances to face away from adjacent properties or be screened by a flyway barrier at least six feet tall. Water sources should be provided on the keeper's property to prevent bees from foraging at neighbors pools, a real concern in the Mojave. Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 552 requires all apiaries to be registered annually with the Nevada Department of Agriculture, with inspection authority for diseases like American foulbrood. Africanized honey bees are established in Clark County, so swarm calls should go to licensed pest control rather than untrained removers. HOA master-planned communities such as Anthem, Inspirada, Cadence, and Green Valley frequently prohibit beekeeping outright in CC and Rs.
Unregistered apiaries may be cited under NRS 552. Nuisance hives can be abated under HMC Chapter 7.04 with fines and forced removal.
