Summer '07

We now have TWO apiaries. One on my roof (The Brooklyn Bee) and one on the Lower East Side of Manhattan (Green Oasis Garden). They hope to mainly pollinate their fruit trees. Honey production is only a secondary bonus. Shown are some Meetup members hiving the bees and the package they are going to hive The bees come from an apiary in Georgia.
