View Pollinator Week NYC 2009 in a larger map

Pollinator Week in New York City begins June 22. Organized by the do-gooders of Just Food, this week-long celebration highlights the importance of our local pollinators -- bees and beekeepers -- and how they positively affect the urban environment.

The week kicks off with the first annual Beekeepers Ball at Water Beach Taxi/South Street Seaport, and continues with tours, tastings, talks and more. New York City chefs and mixologists will participate by offering special honey-infused dishes, desserts and drinks; NY Nectar menus are available Mon., June 22 through Sat., June 27. All participating restaurants are mapped above and listed below.
