As the sun set over the river, crops and skyline, Dancing Bee Garden’s Ross Conrad carefully lowered a frame sticky with bees and honey back into the top bar hive at Eagle Street Rooftop Farm.  A class of rapt New Yorkers watched from above as Ross explained the parts and function of each section of the hive before climbing back up the staircase from the lower roof where the bees are kept to the green roof.  One and a half hours later, everyone went home having tried fine raw honey, brains overloaded with information on the use of pollen, honey and propolis for health & healing.

Class workshops are offered at the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm as listed on our calendar.  Educational programing is facilitated by Growing Chefs.
