This newbee needs some information about apartments

[Rebecca Singh]

I saw the news program on CBS and joined immediately. I have been very interested and concerned for a long time about this topic. BUT I live in an apartment. Can I do anything?

If any one can give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Rebecca, there are apartments, and then there are apartments! It’s all about the outdoor space that you have. Beehives must be situated out of doors; an indoor beehive would generally be a nuisance. If you have a patio, there is hope. Or, if you have rooftop access and it’s a flat roof, it’s possible. But the one thing that would not work, would be if you tried to do this without your landlord’s knowledge. That would be a recipe for failure. Keep us posted on your progress!

Here’s a nice picture and article about the bees of the New York City Waldorf-Astoria hotel:
