Should Coquitlam residents be allowed to practice urban beekeeping in their backyards?

I would welcome the ability to keep bees in Coquitlam backyards.

Suitable habitat for bees is disappearing fast with the boom in high rise and condo construction.

Those people with gardens who can provide pollinator friendly plantings should be allowed and encouraged to keep hives.
