This week on Let's Eat In, our hostess Cathy Erway talks with Chase Emmons of Brooklyn Grange and Tim O'Neal of Borough Bees. Our guests have teamed up to start a 30 hive apiary at the new Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm in the Brooklyn Navy Yards. Tune in to hear how Chase and Tim got their starts in beekeeping, the surprising demand for NYC honey, and the plans for Brooklyn Grange's apiary this season. Learn about bee genetics, and how Chase and Tim plan to breed bees that are adaptable to New York City's weather and conditions. In other words- local New York bees! Thanks to this episode's sponsor, Whole Foods.
"When I started keeping bees, I joined the local beekeeping organization and I was the youngest member by 60 years." -- Tim O'Neal on Let's Eat In
"You want cold winters so bees can make it through the winters. They'll go more dormant, so to speak. If they don't go dormant and they stay a little too active, they go through all their emergency food supplies, which is stored honey." -- Chase Emmons on Let's Eat In

This week on A Taste of the Past Linda sat down with Holley Bishop. Bishop wrote "Robbing the Bees", a book about the history of beekeeping and her own experience helping bee-keepers "rob" hives of honey. For some further bee-keepery Linda and Holley were joined by Roberta's own Eddie Diaz and Brandon Hoy, who have been keeping bees in Williamsburg and Bushwick for well over a year now (and well before its current status as a legal hobby kicked in). Tune in for an engrossing look at the surprisingly complex world of bees, honey, their rich past and their uncertain future. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
