How to Become an Urban Beekeeper According to Andrew Coté | Eater
"Founded in 2005 by a beekeeper together with his father and brother, this small urban apiarist operation sells jars of honey online and at a major Manhattan farmers market and supplies high-end restaurants and notable food-world figures. The team maintains hives across Connecticut and New York state — including all five boroughs — with colonies on Manhattan rooftops, the grounds of an international headquarters, and at a historic farm museum. Beyond harvesting, centrifuging, bottling, and labeling honey, the business fulfills pollination contracts across the Northeast (and as far as Florida), offers bee-doctor consultations, wrangles bees for media projects, leads urban honey tours, and published a book of essays; the owners emphasize the intense labor, expense, and scant yields involved in producing real, quality urban honey and believe their product can help alleviate seasonal pollen allergies." - Morgan Goldberg
