NEW YORK (AP) — Bears are
nonexistent. Skunks are rare. Rats, pigeons
and humans, though plentiful, are reluctant to
approach.
New York City, it turns out, is a great place to be a bee.
``They do really well here,'' says David Graves, who has hundreds of
thousands of honeybees in seven hives in Brooklyn, the Bronx and
Manhattan. ``There are so many parks and gardens and rooftop
flowerpots. Even if it's dry, they can get the water they need from the
East River.''
They mind their own beeswax, too, and don't go around stinging
sidewalk-bound New Yorkers, Graves insists. The hives are on rooftops
— as high as 12 stories — to keep them undisturbed.
