>>I kept bees in NYC for about 7 years - defiantly, I guess. I didn't even know it was illegal until a couple years into it.

John Howe showed me his rooftop apiary several years ago.  At that time, I'd only heard of only 3 or 4 other NYC beekeepers.  It's quite a nice set-up.  There is a photo in a recent ABJ article on city beekeeping.

>>Now I've lost my rooftop access - so this spring I moved them upstate.

Beekeeping in NYC may not be legal but many New Yorkers are pro-bee.  I'll bet you if you post a free ad on craigs list looking for a roof site to keep your bees you'll get many responses.
