Toms River Township's municipal code does not contain a specific beekeeping ordinance. At the state level, New Jersey regulates beekeeping through the Department of Agriculture. Under N.J.S.A. 4:6-9 et seq., all beekeepers must register their hives with the State Apiarist. Hives must be inspected annually for disease. Colonies must be maintained in movable frame hives. The Right to Farm Act (N.J.S.A. 4:1C-1 et seq.) may provide some protections for agricultural beekeeping operations. Residential beekeepers should verify compliance with their zoning district under Chapter 348 and check any applicable HOA restrictions.
Failure to register hives with the State Apiarist may result in state enforcement action. Local nuisance complaints are handled under Chapter 368.
