8. Brooklyn's Urban Beekeepers: Breaking The Law For …
4 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!

Set in a secret location in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Shot & Edited by storyteller, Liza de Guia.

    hey beekeepers, that is so amazing. You might have some honey from my lavender plants in Park Slope, as I've been planting lavender all over my terrace, because bees love lavender. First there is one bee, then many. Every day, I am so thrilled to see them thrive. I always wondered, where they might live. So maybe, just maybe, they are from your roof.

    Thanks Jahaan. It was pretty wicked filming with no protective gear about 1 inch away from 200,000 bees!

    What happens when someone in their building who is allergic gets stung? I've watched enough Law and Order to know that Jack McCoy will prosecute you for manslaughter or at least criminal negligence.
