A quarter of a million bees are being cultivated on top of the swanky Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City as a away of making the city more sustainable.
Bee populations have been on the decline. The bees are needed to pollinate flowering trees within a 3-mile radius of the hotel.
These hives are part of New York City’s green initiative, PlaNYC, which is hoping to plant 1,000,000 trees in the next 10 years.
