"Beekeeping is OK in Durham backyards, but city leaders aren't yet comfortable with the idea of allowing chicken coops inside city limits."
If you're not familiar with Durham, it's called the City of Medicine and rightly so. And it could be called "crime central" too - it seems to have more than it's fair share.
Durham remains the only city in the state, aside from Cary, that bans hens within its city limits. Maybe the chickens could help with Durham's image - certainly couldn't hurt. And thank goodness they can have bees.
