Fischer> We found that bees will not cross the East River or Hudson River at all, but foraging bees
from under the Brooklyn Bridge will consistently fly all the way to the Red Hook area of Brooklyn to gather significant nectar, a straight-line distance of 2.75 miles.


Are you suggesting that the bees are flying under the Brooklyn Bridge using the bridge as a wind-break to facilitate foraging in Red Hook?
