Our Rooftop Apiary
Friday April 27, 2012
Our Italian honeybees arrived a few weeks ago, and we’ve officially taken the leap into urban beekeeping - assembling hives in our warehouse and laying out the apiary on the roof. The benefits of urban beekeeping are numerous; they are an important component of vertical farming and their honey is likely to have significantly less chemical residue than commercial honey. Urban beekeeping benefits the planet as well, cutting transportation and manufacturing costs and side effects, with minimal processing and simple recyclable packaging. Â
This is one of the many steps we’re taking as a company towards our goal of sustainability. Stay tuned on more updates from our new friends.
