Rothschild, WI Animal Ordinances: Beekeeping (2026)

Section 422-28 sits inside Chapter 422, Peace and Good Order, rather than Chapter 195, Animals, so a resident searching the animal-control code for a beekeeping permit process will not find one there; the rule is a flat prohibition, not a licensing scheme. The text gives no path to keep bees lawfully in the Village, no distance requirement from a property line, no cap on hive numbers, and no distinction between a backyard hobbyist and a commercial operation. A prior, unrelated ordinance on the sale of meat on the black market that once followed this section (former Sec. 12.01(8) of the 1967 Code) was repealed in 2012, leaving § 422-28 standing on its own as the Village's complete word on apiaries. Because the section carries its own penalty clause rather than deferring to the Village's general fine schedule at § 1-2, it is enforced under its own dedicated fine amounts.
