Brooklyn's Urban Beekeepers: Breaking The Law For The Planet (Part I)
6 months ago
Sometimes laws are meant to be broken. Meet a passionate crew of illegal urban beekeepers in Brooklyn, New York working on their very first honey harvest for their restaurants. Find out why raising bees on NYC rooftops is important for Mother Earth. And be inspired to get into the illegal "bees"ness of urban beekeeping in your own backyard or rooftop. It's not only fun, but dangerous, especially if you don't like wearing bee suits!

- smoke should be used as much less, a common mistake of a new beekeeper is to over smoke their hive. Smoke should not be directed down into the combs. You don't want ash in your honey. I actually only smoke for shows, smoker competitions, and rainy days that require me to open a hive.
- Bees are not "pets", they are not domesticated, they should be respected at all times.
- A triangle escape board is highly recomended to get the bees out of the honey supers with out chemicals or smoke.
- a hive gets up to 70,000 to 80,000 bees *2 is not 250,000
- 4:26 do not feed store bought honey to bees, it could carry and spread disease
Hope this isn't taken negative, just trying to help people be in the know. Great work guys, hope you have a good winter,
