Under a hot and glorious July sun, four beekeepers representing two coasts opened and examined the beehives at Eagle Street Rooftop Farm for a crowd of curious future-‘keepers. As we passed the frames around the crowd, our visitors leaned close to look for workers, brood, larva and capped honey in the comb. Each beekeeper–Kurt, Tim, Meg and Sam–had their own narrative, but all had come from medication-reliant, commercial-style beekeeping to a more hands-off, organic style of keeping bees.
