NYC Pollinator Week Update
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Last week was the 3rd Annual National Pollinator
Week, and the nonprofit group Just Food organized a
Beekeepers Ball to kick it off. Throughout the city
there were also special honey menus at restaurants,
and a honey festival at the Union Square Greenmarket.
Just Food is also working to advance the Campaign to Legalize Beekeeping in an effort to lift the city's ban on beekeeping.
Below is our own Club's Queen Bee, LIBC President, Joanne Thomas Fischer, with her special drone, James Fischer, beekeeper, LIBC Corresponding Secretary, and bon vivant, attending the Beekeepers Ball.
