Description

The story of Honeybee Hotel begins over one hundred years ago with the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel. In its early days, the hotel boasted a rooftop garden for guests to enjoy. Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, and executive chef David Garcelon's vision transformed the celebrated rooftop garden into a unique haven for honeybees. Garcelon's dream was not just to create a private chefs' garden but to foster a sense of community among people. The hotel staff, guests, local horticulturists, and beekeeping experts came together around the bees and the garden, which produced vegetables, herbs, and honey for the hotel's culinary masterpieces and provided healthy food for a nearby homeless shelter. Through her meticulous research and interviews with key figures in this unique world, Leslie Day offers an insider's tour of New York City's urban bee scene.
