The next big thing I want to work on is learning about urban beekeeping. I've only just started reading up on the practice, but I also recently learned about this great place called The Brooklyn Grange down around the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They've got a training program, events, a newsletter, and all kinds of great resources for folks of all levels of proficiency; beginner to expert.According to SustainWeb, there are more honey bees than other types of bee and pollinating insects, so it is the world's most important pollinator of food crops. It is estimated that one third of the food that we consume each day relies on pollination mainly by bees, but also by other insects, birds and bats.
So if you're one of those people that likes to, you know, eat food... learn about the bees that enable you to do so!
