Tight shot of bees\u003cbr/\u003eNew York City's health code leaves little room for interpretation over what type of pet residents can keep.\u003cbr/\u003eForbidden animals include weasels, wombats and elephants. \u003cbr/\u003eBut there is another creature just as illegal to keep - the honey bee. \u003cbr/\u003eFor years New York City beekeepers have flown below the radar of the health code. \u003cbr/\u003eThey keep their hives on roof tops or in community gardens. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen it comes to their hobby, theirs is an existence of don't ask, don't tell. \u003cbr/\u003eIf a neighbour does notice and makes a complaint, the owners must disassemble their hives or face steep fines and exterminator fees. \u003cbr/\u003eFlouting the law seems to have not dissuaded these would be beekeepers.\u003cbr/\u003eThis Spring beekeeping classes in New York City are brimming with students. \u003cbr/\u003eThe numbers for one class increased three fold when word of urban beekeeping began to make its way into the news. \u003cbr/\u003eBeekeeping got media attention due mainly to a bill introduced into the city council in late January that calls for the licensing of beekeeping. \u003cbr/\u003eOn Easter Sunday the student beekeepers gathered one last time for a live demonstration of hiving their bees. \u003cbr/\u003eAfterwards they got two boxes; one containing approximately 20,000 live bees, the other much smaller and with the queen bee inside. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd with that they went their separate ways to start their hives around the city.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of those new recruits, who didn't want her full name used because she fears prosecution for her new hobby, is Kelly. She hived her bees in Brooklyn. \u003cbr/\u003eKelly is allergic to bees. She didn't know this until recently when she was stung on the head and it swelled to a quite large size. Her allergist told her if she gets stung again it could be fatal.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's more than a hobby, it's my passion. You know I'd rather die being happy and do something I love than not do it. It's a risk I'm taking but I don't really think I'll die, hopefully.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFor protection Kelly wears a bee suit, thick gloves and tapes her trouser legs shut whenever she checks on her bees. \"I really think about the allergy more when I'm suiting up then when I'm actually with the bees. I'm not afraid when I'm with the bees. I just try to be smart about it,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eKelly had no stings after her first hiving.\u003cbr/\u003eNewbie Brooklyn beekeeper, Megan Paska wasn't so lucky. \u003cbr/\u003eHiving is a little bit of a rough process. \u003cbr/\u003eIt involves little more than dumping bees from a carrier cage into their new hive then carefully placing the queen inside and putting a lid on top. \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, It must be done quickly and carefully to avoid riling up the bees.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's Paska's first attempt and she's been stung. \"I got my first sting. I already got the stinger out. It didn't really hurt so that's good,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003ePaska says people don't recognise the merits of honey bees. \"They don't see the difference between a honey bee or a yellow jacket and a wasp. They see them as temperamental and pests. I think if people just understand that they are beneficial then a nuisance than I think that might change it. It think it's a shame that there are laws against it,\" she says. \u003cbr/\u003eFor now the bee keeping bill remains in committee.\u003cbr/\u003eIt faces two votes before the city council before passage. At the earliest it could pass by mid-Summer. \u003cbr/\u003eThe New York City health department maintains that bees are a threat due to the possibility of swarming and that stings for some can be fatal.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
