>the neighbor has 20 hives over the recommended amount (3 per 1/4 acre).

We need bees. We also need healthy bees and this might be a danger to not only them but the other bees in the area. I'd research further and see if too many hives too close together is bad for the bees, then go from there

Reply to Question about hawks and crows by BeamerTakesManhattan

Yea not sure where you were living and considering the suburbs but on the Western side of the state I have always seen crows, hawks and Vultures. We actually have a bald eagle nesting in one of the trees around my house. Haven't found the nest but have seen the bird a lot over the past year.

As for the other animals what you listed are all primarily seen at night so if you have a motion camera set up at night you will see they are still there just as always.

How do you know there are 26 hives? Did you count the boxes? 26 boxes doesn't necessarily mean 26 colonies. What are you most concerned about? Honeybees pushing out non-natives? Killing them with the mower? The beekeeper running a commercial operations? I know there are technically limits, but he may be within them and you wouldnt know until the nj state apiarist comes by and counts. Then you have a pissed off neighbor. Just ask for a bunch of honey and mow at dusk when the bees are back in the box. source: i am a beekeeper, its selfless work honestly.

Reply to Spurred by Gov. Murphy’s reform pledge, NJ lawmakers are working on changing liquor licensing laws that have remained largely unchanged since the years just following Prohibition: The current laws make obtaining a liquor license difficult and allow for a finite number of retail consumption licenses by rollotomasi07071

Here in NW Jersey, we have so few decent restaurants. For being about 20 miles from NYC, we can't attract anything new and interesting, just the same bland and salty red-sauce Italian.

I think the liquor laws are a big part of this. It's crushing the profitability by doing away with such a large way to drive margins. I get that they're valuable investments to those holding them, but so were taxi medallions. Ultimately, it was an investment hurting the rest of us.

Yes, I told them about the bees in the pool issue and he assured me that his 26 hives aren’t the problem, he watches his bees travel 1/4 mile to the local stream and told me to put out additional bird baths to keep the bees hydrated. And that if it doesn’t get better it must be his neighbor’s 7 hives that are using the pool.
