Orland Park does not have a specific beekeeping ordinance. State law requires registration with the Illinois Department of Agriculture under the Bees and Apiaries Act.
The Village of Orland Park does not appear to have a specific local beekeeping ordinance. At the state level, the Illinois Bees and Apiaries Act (510 ILCS 20/1 et seq.) requires all beekeepers to register their colonies with the Illinois Department of Agriculture at no cost. Registration certificates remain valid unless cancelled. The Department conducts inspections and may quarantine or destroy colonies affected by disease. Residents interested in beekeeping should contact the Village's Development Services or Code Enforcement department at 708-403-5300 to verify whether local restrictions apply, as neighboring communities vary in their approach to beekeeping regulation.
Failure to register with the state may result in penalties. Local nuisance complaints could apply if bees cause disturbances.
