Portland actually encourage bee disease.  They consider bees as stinting insects causing anaphylactic shock.   Their permit requirement of 100% written permission from all residences within 150' is ignored by almost all bee heepers in Portland.  The problem is that should a new beekeeper decide to give up they let their hive go into disrepair.  That hive will become diseased.  If a hive is in a 2 mile radius a healthy hive it will rob the honey and bring the declining hives disease to the healthy colony.
