Urban Beekeeping 101: The Art of Keeping Bees in the City

Tips and Tricks for the Modern Beekeeper

Tip 1: Don't Bee-ware of the Law

In many cities, beekeeping is heavily regulated. Make sure to check with local authorities to see if beekeeping is even allowed on your roof. If not, just say you're running a 'bee-themed art collective'.

Tip 2: Choose the Right Bee

Don't go for the aggressive Italian bees, trust us. Opt for the laid-back, laid-back Californian bees. They'll be more chill, and less likely to kill your neighbor.

Tip 3: Don't Get Stung (Too Much)

Wearing a beekeeping suit is not just for show, it's for protection. Don't get caught dead in your backyard (literally).
