Kapolei's residential and commercial zoning does not permit beekeeping as an accessory use, and HOA covenants in the master-planned neighborhoods prohibit hives entirely.
ROH Chapter 21 allows beekeeping as an accessory agricultural use in zoning districts that permit agriculture, not in residential or urban mixed-use districts that dominate Kapolei. Agricultural parcels exist in surrounding Honouliuli and Makakilo foothills but not inside Kapolei's urban footprint. Master-planned CCRs add to the prohibition. Pending Bill 10 and Bill 65 LUO redraft proposals would set minimum lot size and tiered hive counts if adopted. State apiary registration under HRS 152 is mandatory for any operator statewide regardless of county rules.
