Outright bans are a bit much, hopefully some petitioning will allow a small amount. We have a chicken limit based on land size; average block of 500m2 can have 10 chickens without a permit. A couple of blocks over they have around 15 chooks and they said it was easy enough to get a permit.
I don't know the rules regarding bees but I have noticed hives in my area some I'm assuming they are permitted.
Good luck petitioning. π
Seems like we need some iron lung instagramers to talk to the kids
