Can I keep bees in the city?

Of course you can,There are beekeepers all over Tulsa, all the surrounding towns, as well as most major cities, They keep bees in back yards, patios, balconies and rooftops.  There are regulations that vary by city, You will have to check with local authorities to see what is required.  If you have any trouble with your local officials contact NEOBA for assistance.
There are a few things to keep in mind though.

Be Courteous:
    Don't work your bees when neighbors are out.
    Provide water for your bees so they don't become a nuisance.
    Situate your hives so that the bees fly up quickly.

Be Discrete.
    Keep your hives out of public view as much as possible.

Be Generous
    Be sure and share your harvest with neighbors.
