Next month, the hotel plans to install six beehives in a rooftop space on the 20th floor. They will include one mature hive of 20,000 bees and five starter hives of 5,000 bees each. By August, the hotel expects to have 300,000 bees in residence. Chef David Garcelon will incorporate the harvested honey into the restaurant's dishes. There also are plans for a chef's garden to be built. The Waldorf is the latest in a long string of hotels taking in bees. Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, for instance, has more than a dozen properties with beehives on-site. Juanse Barros J. APIZUR S.A.
