Beekeeping is allowed in Oxnard under Ventura County agricultural regulations. Hives must be maintained properly and located a safe distance from neighboring properties and public areas.
Oxnard permits beekeeping on residential properties subject to Ventura County regulations. Hives should be positioned to direct bee flight paths away from neighboring properties and public areas, typically by maintaining adequate setbacks or flyway barriers at least 6 feet high. A water source must be provided on site to prevent bees from seeking water on neighboring properties. Colony management and regular inspection help prevent swarming issues.
Bee colonies that become a public nuisance may result in abatement action by the county agricultural commissioner. Abandoned or neglected hives may be removed.
