HYOH: Host your own hive? That's how we're referring to a project from Milk & Honey Market in West Philadelphia. The organic market is pairing up with Two Gander Farm for Summer in the City Honey. Honeycomb

Simply put, if you have a roof or backyard in West Philly or Center City, you can host a beehive. Now, before you start freaking out about bee incidents, relax. Trey Flemming of Two Gander Farm will bring the hive to your home, where he'll set it up safely, and he'll visit every three weeks to check up on your little honey-making machine. You'll host the hive from early May to the end of June. It'll be like your own inn of bee guests, and the resulting honey that is harvested will be sold at Milk & Honey Market. Some of the proceeds will benefit The Orchard Project, and all hosts will receive two pints of the sticky stuff. Yum. We can think of all matters of deliciousness that we could wreak with such honey.

Want to HYOH? Call 215-387-milk, email info@milkandhoneymarket.com or stop by the market at 45th Street and Baltimore Avenue.

Hi Christopher and Stephanie, I like reading your posts about the city because we are just north of you in Lansdale and Harleysville.  This HYOH seems odd, are they doing it to promote their businesses or awareness of the cause?  Or is that they need these hives spread out to achieve better results?  I would be interested to know how many people sign on to have a hive.  Keep us posted.  ~Lisa

I think this is a great idea.  I know that honey bees are becoming an "endangered" species of sorts and spreading hives out to give them a better access to the necture they need is a great idea.  Hope this is a successful venture.
