BEE KEEPING
Bee keeping is a hobby enjoyed by many residents in Manningham. Honeybees will
usually provide enough honey for general household needs, and will help pollinate fruit
and berry flowers.
Keeping bees on residential property
Bee keeping may be carried out in the City of Manningham without a planning permit,
provided the Apiary Code of Practice is met.
All beekeepers who keep one or more hives are required to be registered with the
Department of Primary Industries.
The Code includes a table which specifies how many hives can be placed on different
sized lots as follows:
Tenement (Lot) Size Number of hives allowed without a Planning Permit
500m2
or less 1
501m2 to 1000m2
2
1001m2
to 2000m2
5
2001m2
to less than 4000m2
10
4000m2
to less than 1 hectare 60
1 hectare to 2 hectares 100
Larger than 2 hectares No limit
Honeybees don’t just look after themselves. Keeping bees in residential areas requires
proper management, otherwise the bees can be a nuisance to those who live close by.
The Code of Practice provides information regarding Apiculture. It specifies particular
requirements, including:
• Placing hives in a sunny but sheltered spot;
• Hives must be at least 3 metres from a property boundary fence. This does not
apply if a bee proof barrier, not less than 2 metres high, is situated on the boundary
fenceline adjacent to the hives;
• Water must be provided on the property where the bees are located, in close
proximity to the hives;
• Colonies located in urban areas must be maintained with young docile queens;
• Used hive components not housing bees should be stored in such a way that bees
cannot gain entry;
• Prevent or minimize activities of robber bees;
• Observe hive density limits for properties in urban areas;

• Ensure bee flight paths don’t interfere with neighbouring land by:
o Placing hives away from footpaths and public access ways;
o Keeping hives in rear yards rather than in the front yard;
o Placing hives away from outdoor entertaining areas in neighbouring
properties.
Bee Swarms
The swarming of bees is a natural instinct and occurs chiefly from September to
December. Swarming is nature’s way of creating new honeybee colonies. A swarm is part
of a honeybee colony, including a queen, which leaves the parent colony to establish a
new hive.
Honeybee colonies must be managed to prevent and minimise swarming. This can be
achieved by division of colonies by beekeepers to reduce the population, or by
‘requeening’ which is the process of replacing the old queen with a new one.
It should not be assumed that swarms found in the vicinity of managed hives have
originated from the nearest hive. Swarms arising from other hives, and in particular feral
colonies, can fly into nearby managed apiaries.
If swarming occurs, beekeepers must capture the swarm that has left the colony that they
own as soon as possible after it has formed a cluster. Swarms must be removed from the
property.
Names of beekeepers who will collect bee swarms that are in the open and easily
accessible, can be obtained by telephoning the Victorian Apiarist’s Association ‘Bee Help
Line’ on 1902 241 059. A fee is charged for the removal of bees. Alternatively, pest
controllers can be contacted to have bee swarms destroyed, however this would be at a
cost to the resident.
Neighbourly Responsibilities
It is crucial to remember that some people are extremely sensitive to bee stings.
A swarm of bees can cause distress, particularly if it occurs near a home.
Beekeepers should practice swarm control methods, but if your bees do swarm, collect
them quickly to prevent their establishment in your neighbour’s yard. Some beekeepers
may choose to collect feral swarms in neighbouring properties as a gesture of good will.
Keep good relations by sharing a jar of honey over the fence from time to time!
