New York
Bustling New York City may not seem a bee-friendly place, but its high-rise rooftops and tiny gardens are buzzing with honey-makers threatened by pesticides in rural areas.
About 2.4 million Italian honeybees waited in a white van to be taken to their new homes early Friday. It was parked near the Dakota Apartments by Central Park, where John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono has lived since 1973.
“This is the first year that we’ve done this outside The Dakota,” says Andrew Coté, president of the New York City Beekeepers Association. “We heard that Yoko likes honey.”
Mr. Coté, who founded Andrew’s Honey, drove up from Georgia to deliver the bees. The van held 200 wood and screen packages, each with about 12,000 bees. A steady stream of beekeepers lines up to pick up their 3-pound packages, which cost $159 or $205 depending on when they placed their order.
