Question by Parvati: When did urban beekeeping start? And how about rooftop gardening?
I’m writing an article for a german magazine describing ways that New Yorkers are going green in 2011. I know urban beekeeping and rooftop gardening have been around for a while, but does anyone know approximately when they were started? And if you know of any new ways people are going green in 2011, that’d be a huge help. Thanks 🙂
