Why is Sioux Falls Allowing Beehives in the City?
Many people have a fear of bees. Maybe (like me) you were stung when you were little and seeing them brings back that feeling? But in reality, bees are one of the most important animals in mother nature.
Last year, the city of Sioux Falls passed a beekeeping ordinance, which allows residents to keep a beehive on their property.
According to Dakota News Now, only one person has applied for the permit so far, but that number is expected to grow soon.

If an individual wants to keep a beehive on their property, they must apply for a permit with the City of Sioux Falls Animal Control first. Then the person must go through a beekeeping class, which is approved by the city.
