Oh, good! And there was a bee waterer 2 feet from the hive? What he is expected to sprinkle them with a hose? Put the water dish inside the hive? I liked the line - something like, well, maybe the bees didn't feel like flying 2 feet to get a drink.

They need people that know something about bees do the inspections. That sounds like a great situation for the bees.

Honeybees have a three mile radis that they work, foraging for pollen , water and nector from their hive.
NYC is desperate for money, that fined honeybee owner was the victims of poor economic times and ignorance...
It is a good idea to provide water for your honeybees, but don't be surprised if they go somewhere else for water...
