Bucks County does not have a county-level beekeeping ordinance. Pennsylvania's Bee Law (3 P.S. §2101 et seq.) requires all beekeepers to register their apiaries with the PA Department of Agriculture and submit to inspections. State law does not prohibit residential beekeeping. Individual Bucks County township zoning codes may regulate beekeeping as an accessory or agricultural use. The county includes significant agricultural areas, particularly in upper Bucks County, where beekeeping is common and less likely to face zoning restrictions. Suburban and borough areas may have more restrictive zoning for backyard beekeeping. The Bucks County Beekeepers Association is an active local resource.
PA Bee Law: penalties for unregistered hives. Township zoning violations if not permitted.
