Minneapolis allows beekeeping in the city as long as your adjacent neighbors sign off on it and you notify the city (there might be fees, but I don’t recall). There isn’t any exemption that I know of but I’m on board with the city allowing residents to keep them. Good on you, Texas (and any place else with friendly bee keeping laws)

Why shouldn't big landowners get the benefit if they are truly bee friendly? It would take way more small landowners to have the same effect. Why not give a break to people under 5 acres as well?

20 acres is not large? What's large for TX? Large for RI would be 2 acres.

Michigan checking in, 20 acres not that big really.

If you're in a city 20 acres is large. If you're in the middle of the west TX desert it's nothing.
