in the household, have suffered past anaphylaxis specifically due to honeybee (Apis mellifera) <br />stings. <br /> <br />Alternative: Medical documentation must be provided stating that you, or another person <br />who is permanently resident in the household, have suffered past anaphylaxis due to bee stings, <br />provided that the medical documentation does not also indicate that the allergy is to a bee or <br />insect species other than honeybees (Apis mellifera). <br /> <br />D. A medically documented bee sting allergy in a person who is a permanent resident of an <br />adjoining neighbor to the property where the apiary is present may be considered by the City <br />Manager as a reason for revocation. Medical documentation can consist of a letter, bill, or other <br />written statement from an emergency room, physician, pharmacist, nurse; or from a licensed <br />allergist with a diagnosis that you have tested positive for bee venom allergies; or a prescription <br />for an epinephrine auto-injector, such as an Epi-Pen, or other similar devices. <br /> <br />F. Medical documentation can consist of a letter, bill, or other written statement from an <br />emergency room, physician, pharmacist, nurse, or from a licensed allergist with a diagnosis that <br />you have tested positive for bee venom allergies, or from other medical personnel, provided that <br />it lists both honeybee (Alternative: bee) stings and resultant past anaphylaxis. <br /> <br />G. Documentation stating that you have a prescription for an auto-injector (epinephrine) is not <br />sufficient to revoke an apiary registration because EpiPens are prescribed for a variety of <br />reasons, such as food allergies. <br /> <br />H. Swelling, pain and redness due to bee stings is not sufficient to revoke an apiary registration. <br /> <br />I. Anaphylaxis due to other stinging insects such as ants (genus Solenopsis and others) or wasps <br />(Vespids) or any other non honeybee insect is insufficient to revoke an apiary registration. <br /> <br />E. An apiary registration can also be revoked if the apiary can be shown to have become a <br />habitual nuisance due to improper maintenance, despite the City having asked the beekeeper <br />orally at least once, and in writing at least once, to rectify conditions. Such nuisance conditions <br />can include: inconsistent water source, swarming, inconvenient cleansing flight trajectory, etc. <br /> <br />F. Because it is not possible to anticipate every situation, the City Manager or their designee <br />must retain the right, in their discretion, to revoke apiary registrations which may vary from the <br />principles and criteria of this policy.
