About this item
A year in the life of New York City's premier beekeeper, who charmingly chronicles his adventures and the quirky personalities he encounters while spreading his infinite knowledge of and passion for the remarkable honey bee. Considered an "industry legend" by The New York Times, Andrew Cot has one of the most intriguing, challenging, and unique jobs in New York City - maintaining millions of honey bees atop some of the city's most iconic buildings. His apiaries have crowned the Waldorf Astoria and the Museum of Modern Art; reside on the North Lawn of the United Nations; reign above stores, hotels, restaurants, schools, churches, and synagogues; and are situated in community gardens, and even cemeteries, throughout the five boroughs. In this debut collection, Cot takes readers with him on his daily apiary adventures over the course of a year, in the city and across the globe.
