If you think bees are something to avoid, then you might not understand why Section 161.01 which bans keeping animals that are ”wild, ferocious, fierce, dangerous or naturally inclined to do harm.” being amended to allow bees to be kept within the city is so exciting. Before today, beekeepers in NYC could be fined up to $2,000.
To many bees are a mere menace, but it’s the bees and their business that actually make the world go round.
