It's easy to build a top-bar hive if you're a woodworker but since I'm not I bought one from backyardhive.com.

My high-school Latin teacher used to keep bees behind the school swimming pool and brought in jars of his honey to school to sell every autumn. (London honey is mainly from Plane trees: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Plane). Usefully, this coincided with Rosh haShanah! I must confess, though, that my favourite kind of honey is white Hawai'ian honey (http://www.volcanoislandhoney.com/) - I'm not such a big fan of the classic "honey" taste, and this is a particularly light, not very honey-like honey. WholeFoods seem to have stopped carrying it, though, and I can't find it anywhere in NYC any more. Shipping costs are prohibitive direct from Hawai'i, too. Anyone have any recommendations on where to find it in NYC? I love the idea and strongly support legalising local honey production in NYC.
