New York City Bees
Studies have shown that urban bees are often healthier and more productive than their rural counterparts. In light of the recent wave of massive bee death throughout the US, we ask how New York City's bees are faring, and find out why the city can be an ideal habitat for bees. David Graves keeps hundreds of thousands of honeybees in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan. Dr. Jerome G. Rozen is a bee expert from the American Museum of Natural History.
