Long Branch does not maintain a local beekeeping ordinance. At the state level, the NJ Department of Agriculture regulates beekeeping under N.J.S.A. 4:6-1 et seq. All apiaries in New Jersey must be registered with the State Apiarist. The NJ Apiary Act requires inspection for disease and empowers the State Apiarist to order destruction of diseased colonies. Beekeepers should maintain hives in a manner that does not create a nuisance to neighbors under general nuisance law. Colony management practices including providing water sources and maintaining flight paths away from neighboring properties are recommended. Long Branch zoning does not specifically address beekeeping, though nuisance complaints would be handled under the city's general nuisance provisions.
Unauthorized hives: removal order. Nuisance complaints: mediation then fines. State registration violation: NJ Dept of Agriculture enforcement.
