Brooklyn’s Urban Beekeepers: Breaking The Law For The Planet
Saved in: General
Here’s a fascinating little video about a group of 3 guys that have found a passion for beekeeping…in Brooklyn! As you’ll see in the video beekeeping in New York City is illegal, but they’re doing it anyway.
There’s quite a movement in ‘renegade beekeeping’, mostly on rooftops, beginning to get momentum. There’s growing concern over bees that have mysteriously been dying, thought to be caused by a number of manmade problems including GM foods and mobile phone masts that disrupt the bees’ navigation systems.
Interestingly I did hear that honey collected from bee hives in or around cities can actually be ‘cleaner’ than honey collected from bees near fields and countryside, where pesticide and herbicide spraying can get very intense.
