NYPD Beekeepers Higgins and Mays
Who knew we have a NYPD beekeeping team? 🐝🐝
"In a delightful, double feature evening, the New York City Beekeepers
Association will host a talk by NYPD's beekeeping team as well as present
two additional vintage beekeeping short films from our library.
Part One: Swarms in the City
When the NYPD is notified about bee swarms in New York City, they turn to
their internal experts. In addition to serving the people of NYC, Detective
Dan Higgins and Officer Darren Mays are on call when our apis mellifera
friends needs help as well. This time of year, they are often called out to
rescue bee swarms in the New York City area, a truly unique environment to
exercise this special skill. Hear their experiences in this entertaining
presentation!
Part Two: Bee Movie Night: The Sequel
If you missed our April meeting, here is your chance to watch vintage
beekeeping films. And if you were able to join us in our April meeting,
you'll be happy to know we have two additional films to share (these will
be different short films than what were presented at our last meeting). The
charm of the projector and the company of your fellow bee lovers--what
could be sweeter?
As always, our meetings are also an opportunity to ask and discuss your
beekeeping questions. Please join us for a fun and educational evening with
your fellow NYC beeks!"
