Urban Beekeeping - Ron Breland, 64 years old, is a teacher at the private Rockland Country Day School of Congers, thirteen or so miles out of Manhattan. He set up the hives of his design in the school’s organic garden and teaches apiculture to children from nursery to secondary school. “It’s extraordinary, just using my type of hive and smoking them with sage, I can open a hive without any danger to the kindergarten pupils. The bees raised like that are so much gentler and we practically never have any stings.” USA

Urban Beekeeping - Adam Johnson, 35 years old, associate lawyer in a New York law firm looks after four hives in a neighboring community garden. “The New York City Beekeepers’ Association to which I belong thinks there are about a hundred hives in New York. But, that’s only counting our group and the known beekeepers. If you add people of Mexican and Puerto Rican origins, who have rural roots, and other groups of young people, the figures could get as high as 500 hives.” USA

Urban Beekeeping - David Graves, 59 years old, has 14 hives in New York. For him, the law shouldn’t change because it allows for regulation of beekeeping. The risks of swarms are high and only professional beekeepers should be authorized in New York. David is a professional beekeeper even if his stock doesn’t exceed 50 hives. He and his wife make fruit jams and jellies. USA

She started beekeeping in January. “I come from Baltimore in Maryland but my family is from the country and during my childhood, we had a garden. For me, who came to New York recently, it is also a way of meeting people with different interests. I am fascinated. I open my hive every week, watching the bees is for me like meditation, a way to relax. I work for a company that makes children’s clothing”. USA

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - The coming and going of bees during a massive return to the hive. A bee transports 20 to 30 milligrams of nectar and carries out 3 to 10 flights per day during 10 to 20 days of activity. A hive has between 100,000 and 200,000 foraging bees and thus harvests between 60 kilos and 300 kilos of honey per year.
