McDONOUGH – A proposed regulation that would have allowed residents to keep beehives in their backyard was defeated amid safety concerns.
The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted down the so-called “hobby beekeeping” ordinance 4-2, with Johnny Wilson and Gary Barham voting in favor of the ordinance.
