America's only urban beekeeping store on rescuing honeybees

[bryantuten]

As usual, I love this video of yours! Thank you so much!

Bees feed on garbage and filth, that's why they do so well in the city.

[CNN911Fakes]

You are the first "non-fighting for our freedom person" that I think is a hero! I am so pleased, I cannot express it. I thought the murderers of bees had succeeded.

Thank God for your work. Very encouraging.

No words!

Arn't there laws against bee keeping in the city? Do they pose a potential threat to the neighbours around?

[kirstendirksen]

@aznpwnsalot There are/were laws in some cities. New York City just lifted their ban in 2010. From what I've been told they don't pose a threat. I was filming next to my friend Alex's hive (the woman in the video) without a beekeeping suit for over an hour and while a few bees landed on my camera, I didn't get bitten. They were busy doing their own thing.

I believe there's one crucial downside to urban beekeeping which might be high concentration of heavy metals, and other water-soluble toxicants. Probably HPLC should be run to determine the concentrations of undesirable substances in urban-made honey. If someone could provide an information about impact on health of urban-made honey.

[Trickielion47]

@TheMemzyme When a flower soaks up water, what happens is the root attracts the water atoms through its surface and into the flower. So basically, it filters all kinds of things from the water, however there are some exceptions like dye and other un-harmful substances because the flower only calls for H2O and CO2, not other substances in the food formula it uses. Urban honey is completely safe and delicious. hope I helped :)

Everyone should have a few hives.

One of the best videos I've seen in a while! I absolutely love this idea.

[AMRADIO777]

we need this in Hawaii.

[AuraWalkerHypnosis]

Awesome! The reason the bees were all dying and why California had to import bees to pollinate their crops in recent years is because corporate honey companies were using sugar water to replace honey in the hives. They need to leave some honey as food for the bees. The bees immune systems plummeted over the years, and harsh pesticides in the Mid West crops where bees were flying to, were instantly killing the bees too! This guy is a genius! I am so happy to learn about him!

I keep bees in hives right outside my garden. I never would have thought that bees in urban areas would do better than bees in the country. Thanks for another fascinating video.

[mrosalley]

I've always wanted to do beekeeping. One day..... Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. :)

[jawkneekat]

Right around the corner from my house, this store is great!

[justangvano]

amazing as usual. Thank you for filming all of these wonderful people that are changing the world for the better.

We're fortunate that we still have bees in southwest Michigan - though they are slowly dwindling. We have them in spite of our agricultural modernism, specifically, government subsidized corn, soybeans and the Michigan fruit conglomerate. What trouble me most, is that "tree fruit folks" around here believe that the modern way is the only way. They truly believe that their orchards will cease to exist if they don't spray "Ethyl-Methyl-Death" on their trees every day. Sad really.....

[sandykoong]

No bees, no pollination. No pollination, no trees. No trees, no oxygen. No oxygen, we're all dead. 

[DamiettadCarnivalle]

I liked that bit at the end . . .".....It would not surprise me at all if the future of the honeybee itself is in urban beekeeping," he says, "It would not surprise me at all....."

Wow....finally, something that cities are GOOD for, other than traffic and crime?!

[srvvlhm]

I think that he looks a lot like the Honey Nut Cheerio's Bee.

[hiyasweets]

Keep up the good work. This is an excellent video.

[FloridaSalon]

I love your videos. Always interesting....often inspiring. Thank You!

[heomak]

I enjoy & appreciate your videos immensely. Hands down my favorite youtube channel!

[vention4wh]

You really make some awesome videos. Thanks for the effort you put into this.

[BlueStrikeP]

I remember early this autumn, I was cleaning my mom's car, and as I looked out the window (lets just say I worked slowly) to the lavender flowers there was a LOT of bees, it amazed me, I live in one of the closer suburbs to my city, and I was kinda shocked to find so many bees going at it at our garden, The more I looked the more I saw. I'd expect to see them in farms or the country, but I guess our carefully sculpted flower gardens are just too enticing for that eh?

[Dustrick]

I like bees. I want the picture he has on the wall. :)

[Mr70084]

Great Video, Didnt know it was in San Francisco until I looked at the tags.

[wewilhelm]

I shared this with my FB group. best way I know so you get the proper credit. well done.

[mainemike52]

Thanks Another interesting video. Appreciate them.

[mega17]

They ought to develop vaccine for honeybee stings so we'd all quit being scared of them.

Nothing we can do for the people who are just freaked out by bugs though. Like me. ._.

[BlueStrikeP]

@mega17 psychological therapy? haha I kid I kid... but yeah, allergies would be the biggest iffy in my mind, I'd love to do this, but I live in a neighborhood of mostly young families, I wonder if the bees are agressive enough to cause problems... To research! AWAY!!!

[mega17]

@BlueStrikeP

You can use therapy on irrational fear - But it doesn't work on natural preferences.

If a person just thinks bugs look gross and ugly and creepy - That's different from fear.

nice

[moali505]

I've been refreshing my video feed in hopes of a new upload from you for days. Thank You for this

[holasierra95]

Either way, I'll always be scared of bees :)

[Uriel1816]

This is really cool.

[danman911]

Thanks for the video! I'm going to build some hives this winter, and stock them this spring.
