250,000 Bees Find A Home Atop the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan | Inhabitat New York City

This is just so cool. (Hopefully none of their staff is allergic to bee stings.)


The 20th floor of New York’s Waldorf-Astoria now accommodates some rather unusual residents — around 250,000 bees living on the roof of the prestigious hotel. Transported to their new midtown Manhattan digs by a Lincoln Towncar, the pollinating inhabitants of the six beehives were placed there to support the PlaNYC initiative to plant 1,000,000 new trees over the next decade. The hotel will benefit directly too, with their own in-house supply of sustainable honey!
