New York, NY - Beekeepers in New York City no longer have to keep the honey of their labors a secret.
The city’s Board of Health decided Tuesday to allow beekeeping in the city after a long ban.
Some New Yorkers have secretly tended beehives on rooftops and in backyard gardens for years in defiance of city regulations.
The health code had placed honeybees in the same category as other creatures that are deemed to dangerous or venomous for city life, including hyenas and venomous snakes.

bees are not dangerous, unless provoked. without bees, we'd lose alot of our food. we need them for pollination (think of life without cucumbers...)

Only Jews need to obey the law? I though that dina demalchisa dina is one of the sheva mitzvos benei noach as it must be one of the taryag mitzves.
