It’s an issue that generated lots of buzz last year, and now Springfield aldermen will take up the issue of hobby beekeeping.
An ordinance that goes before the City Council this week would clarify the city’s rules and make it clear that people are allowed to keep a limited number of beehives on their property.
Sangamon County Board member Tim Moore, who is himself a beekeeping enthusiast, helped to draft the language of the city ordinance.
