yup. we have beekeepers in our neighborhood too, as well as a hive somewhere on my block. Honeybees, for whatever reason, seem to be doing OK in the dirty old city. Kinda like the peregrines, who were dying out in the wild.
Makes you wonder… most urban gardeners and community gardens don’t use a lot of the new fancy-schmancy GMO crops. Maybe that’s why the bees do well here, and die in the farmlands.
