Urban Honey: Boston's Tour de Hives


For this year's National Honey Bee Day (8/20), a group of about 30 cyclists visited a number of apiaries - all of them within the city of Boston. Interest in bees as pollinators and honey-makers has picked up even in urban locales, where people find that bees can make pretty good neighbors. Says one biology researcher/beekeeper, "It's like having 40,000 friends." Click above to read the Boston Globe's article about the Boston Tour de Hives and see a slideshow from the event.
