http://www.easternecho.com City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on first reading Tuesday allowing Ypsilanti residents to keep bees. The ordinance had been considered by City Council last month, but decided a permit process should be included with the original language and postponed the matter before a vote was taken. If approved on a second reading the ordinance would give residents the opportunity to apply for a permit to keep no more than two bee hives on a parcel of land. en-us Gryphon 2.3.1-dsw (pewabic)/Foundry5 webmaster@easternecho.com
