Beekeeping is allowed in Isleton subject to Sacramento County setback and hive standards. Hives must be registered annually with the Sacramento County Agricultural Commissioner and kept a safe distance from neighbors.
Sacramento Countys apiary rules apply within Isleton. Residential beekeepers may keep managed honey bee colonies on their property with hive setbacks typically 25 feet from any property line and 50 feet from a public right-of-way, or the use of a flyway barrier at least 6 feet tall that forces bees to fly up and over neighboring areas. Water must be provided on-site to discourage bees from foraging at neighbor pools or spigots. California Food and Agricultural Code 29040 requires all apiaries to be registered each year with the county agricultural commissioner, who maintains the bee locator map used for pesticide notification. Given Isletons surrounding Delta agriculture including pear and vineyard operations that depend on pollination, commercial beekeepers frequently place hives within the area under separate commercial apiary rules.
Unregistered hives can be cited by the Sacramento County Agricultural Commissioner with fines up to 1,000 dollars. Nuisance bee activity, aggressive colonies, or setback violations may require hive removal and an infraction citation.
