FOOD CURATED: Brooklyn's Urban Beekeepers: Breaking The Law For The Planet (Part I)

[camigayleojohn]

I love what you are doing! Thank you so much!

[cheshirepat30]

My wife and I grow a lot of our own food and keep chickens.  Beekeeping might be next.

[dvdragon]

I was beekeeping...before it was cool.

[moatwog]

Beekeeping is illegal in NYC. Cannabis is still mostly illegal in the US. These two species are essential to the health of the planet. Connect the dots. I applaud you, my friends.

[1Patrioti]

I like what you doing great work guys

[saveearthsavelives]

don't throw away the spoils of your restaurant (biodegradables), use it to make compost on this rooftop. start an organic garden, with your bees. and yes, why not a greenhouse for winter :o)

[Ishkiia]

loved this.... after reading years ago "The Secret Life of Bees", I have always known that one day I would be a bee keeper... it's just waiting for the right time and situation to get it set up.

[PaintedRavensong]

Thank you for making this seem absolutely possible for the beginner beekeeper and not too daunting of an adventure to get started with.

[mikeyb891]

Keep it up!

[BeeLimerick]

Cool!



[theschumanity]

what are the songs in the background?

[foodcurated]

@theschumanity Hey! They are songs from my production music library. Nothing specific :)

[tradernorton05]

I also keep bees, and was wondering if your bees weathered the recent bad weather in brooklyn.

I hope your hives didnt get blown over.

[orioncheung]

They lifting the ban in NYC. ^_^

Hey, good for you guys! I was raised with bee keeping, and you're right, once stung you'll be stuck on bee keeping forever. It is sooo very important for our survival. Study up on feral beekeeping, they are hardy and not dependent upon antibiotics. There's a feral beekeeping association that sends out email info every week. Check them out... Good green guidance!

[damacdadee1]

wow could that secret location be on the roof top of Roberta's. Idiots

[foodcurated]

Nope. I wouldn't be that obvious... They work at Roberta's, but the location of the hive is a pretty good distance away.

[hulapineapple]

@foodcurated another Clue! j/k. srsly, who would narc on a bee bro?

[piatmg27]

Good idea, fellas. Consider other races of bees, i.e. Russians or Buckfast bees... you might find that Italians do not in fact overwinter well- they eat too much. Keep going!

[Safet]

Nice!

You should definitely wear at least protection on your head. I know someone who got stung in eye and lost that eye. Good beekeeping guys!

[foodcurated]

Stung in the eye! How does one recover from that?
