Beekeeping is legal in Huntington under NY Agriculture and Markets rules. Hives must be registered with NYS Apiary Industry and kept with adequate setbacks from property lines; no specific town hive count limit.
New York allows beekeeping statewide and does not permit municipalities to ban apiaries outright. Huntington Chapter 67 treats nuisance bees under general animal nuisance provisions. Best practice: hive setback of 10 feet from property lines, water source on property, flyway barriers (6-foot fence/hedge) facing neighbors. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County offers guidance. Registration with the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Apiary Program is recommended for disease inspection.
