However, your fear should be respected-- no stone throwing here:-) I have a friend whose father died from an allergic reaction to a bee sting so I know there are some people,at least, who have good reason to be afraid of bees. That said, I say hooray for the Brooklyn beekeepers. They rock! You get lots of brownie points Shirley– honeybees though, are really quite tame and will usually leave you alone unless provoked.

Hope NYC modifies that ordinance!

I'm phobic, absolutely terrified of bees, though I have no idea why. Don't like honey much, either. Yes, I know - I'll get stoned in the marketplace now by those who are horrified at what I just typed. I do understand how important they are to crops and so on but boy, I could sure do without bees on a personal level. In fact, I would have a very hard time living so close to hives like the people in Brooklyn apparently now are. I applaud how they are trying help, though. Does that get me any brownie points?
