I am looking for the info on the team that catches swarms. There is a exposed hive in Fort Greene Park at the corner of Dekalb and Cumberland. It is Sunday 11:30 after Irene. Their hive was exposed by the breaking of a limb. ” My number is [masked]

Jim,

I guess I'm doing it all wrong. because now I have what I think are maggots in the nuke, I'm going to use the queen excluder today and see if I can get the queen out of the hive. so I can put the new queen in. Murphy's law at it's finest!

Hi Jim,

I set up the queen in the nuke, and everything was going well until the heavy rain yesterday. When I checked the day before they almost had the queen released. when I checked today the queen was still in the cage and there were no bees in the nuke at all. I don't know what happened. Do you have any ideas?

Jim would it be possible to mark some queens? I noticed that last time you had equipment for that porpuse. Maybe we can do it while they do the greenroof tour.

Jim, I would like to attend the Jan. bee winter course. I am with the 6BC Botanical Garden in the East Village and we are looking into hosting a hive. Another gardener might want to come too. Is this meeting open? Thanks! Caren

"THE BEE COURSE" IS IN FULL SWING!

Want to host a hive or bring other pollinators to your garden or rooftop, looking for honey from your neighborhood, or beekeeper seeking assistance?

About "THE BEE COURSE: For Bee Lovers & BeeKeepers"

Our Free in-depth Winter Course, is underway.

Registration is currently for waitlist only. But we will do our best to seat you before the next lecture in the series and you can still catch up in time to start beekeeping this spring. If you are curious about bees and beekeeping, now is a great time to start The Bee Course.

The first sessions give you foundations in bee biology and behavior and will help you determine whether you'll be ready to keep bees on your own this Spring, would prefer to join a community team, or just want to learn and volunteer with us. In spring as weather permits, we progress to hands-on sessions in urban apiaries, exposing students to dozens of hives at various stages of growth. There is a lot of material on the web about beekeeping. Many different methods are covered in the Course, and our focus is on practices consistent with "Responsible Urban Beekeeping."

"The Bee Course" is comparable to a college course. It is offered free of charge as a matter of principle.

Members are also eligible to participate in the at-cost group purchase of gear and bees we organize each spring. We have a limited allocation of package bees and preference goes to students and active volunteers. Our bee delivery date is in mid-April. If you are not currently enrolled in the Course, please login & click "Contact Us" if you would like to be included or to lend a hand organizing this season.

Want to Host a Hive?

We will try to match you with a beekeeper seeking a site. Please click here for an inquiry form.

Looking for Honey?

For honey or other products of the hive grown or made locally in NYC, please click here for an inquiry form and we will try to connect you!

NYC Beekeeping is an all-volunteer group for beekeepers and beelovers.

We organize a free course in beekeeping, expert and peer mentoring, and community service & outreach activities throughout the year. Members volunteer with urban farms, community gardens, the NYC Parks Dept., schools and other organizations to foster a strong community of responsible urban beekeepers, to bring training & economic opportunity through beekeeping to underserved areas, to conserve and protect honeybees and other pollinators, and to contribute to the program and fundraising capacities of selected 501(c)(3) organizations.
