Jackson Township has agricultural zones (RC Zone) where beekeeping is more readily permitted. NJ state law requires registration of hives with the State Apiarist. The Pinelands Commission may have additional land use considerations.
Jackson Township's RC (Rural Conservation) Zone supports agricultural activities including beekeeping. Security and animal enclosure fencing in the RC Zone is exempt from standard material restrictions, facilitating agricultural operations. State law requires all beekeepers to register hives with the NJ State Apiarist under N.J.S.A. 4:6-9 et seq. Hives must be in movable frame configuration. Properties in the Pinelands Area are subject to additional land use restrictions through the Pinelands Commission.
Failure to register with the State Apiarist is a state violation. Pinelands land use violations enforced by the Commission.
