GOOD: Rooftop Bees

Filed under: Videos |


good.is With space at such a premium in Manhattan, New Yorkers are accustomed to thinking vertically when it comes to housing. Now bees are getting in on the action. David Graves, an urban beekeeper, tends his hives far above the bustle of New York on rooftops throughout the city. His buzzworthy honey gets rave reviews for its delicate sweetness and for the relief it offers allergy sufferers. But with Colony Collapse Disorder threatening his livelihood, we’re left wondering what a world without honey bees would be like. Not so sweet.

  11. We have so much to learn from nature, all of that knowledge will be lost and will eventually lead to our own self destruction if we don’t preserve these wonderful animals and the remainder of nature untouched by industrial hands.

  12. I wonder if meditation would encourage bees to come to a garden? If we put out thoughts of love, specifically towards bees, to let them know that we won’t hurt them and we’d like their help in creating garden food, then I wonder…. 😀

  18. Scientists have already discovered why CCD is occurring, 60 Minutes broke the news and other news agencies. Immediately after the airing of 60 Minutes, the media started to act as if scientists were still really confused as to why CCD was happening.

    The obvious truth is, CCD was caused and still is occurring because of certain pesticides. I believe that its also done purposely because it will only drive the cost of food higher and higher which suits the goals of some evil beings.

  23. Long live the trawlers?! Do you have any idea how much damage is being done to the ocean by trawlers every second!? They are increasingly desperate, trying to find fish that isn’t there due to the collapsing fish stocks!
