Bronx’s Beekeeping Talk Buzzes in Mott Haven

Mott Haven hummed last night with the Bronx’s Beekeeping Talk, tending NYC’s spring at a 138th Street hall. Keeper Jay Patel pitched hives as 150 listened, a $10 ticket dive into urban buzz. It’s borough bees—pure BX vibe, honey hot. A kid asked about stings; a pro jotted hive tips. ‘Bronx buzzes—this is it,’ Patel says, flipping slides. The room turned apiary.

The talk’s fresh—March 22’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Patel’s a Fordham apiarist; last night’s crowd hit max—charts glowed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; Q&A buzzed—NYC grit shone. Rooftop hives teased—bees ruled. #BronxBees trended; Queens wants a comb.

Some griped—’Too niche,’ sniped a skeptic, dodging drones. Lights dimmed—fixed quick; facts held. A rival’s pitching a Soundview hum, splitting hives. Still, 200 stayed—honey reigned. Mott Haven’s never buzzed so bold.

Patel’s teasing a hive day, maybe a tasting if spring bites. ‘NYC’s bloom—this feeds it,’ he says, packing notes. The talk’s a Bronx win—grit meets buzz. It’s a bee rush; join the next. Bring a veil—stings call.
