The Buzz at InterContinental Boston

Currently, there are approx. 100,000 bees in InterContinental Boston’s apiary consisting of three bee hives.  In June 2010, InterContinental Boston launched Boston’s first (and at that time, only) hotel rooftop apiary with 10,000 bees and by September 2010 the apiary grew to more than 40,000 bees. No honey harvest was conducted last year as not enough extra honey was produced to insure the bees made it through the winter. In April 2011, two additional beehives were added to the apiary and since then, a large amount of honey has been produced.  The bees have been hard at work pollinating the flora of an approximate 4-5 mile radius of the hotel which includes Boston’s expansive 21-acre green space, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston Common and InterContinental Boston’s own waterfront floral and herb gardens.

InterContinental Boston has been working with a local bee expert to set-up the beehives and train the hotel’s Sous Chef, Cyrille Couet, the hotel’s Urban Bee Keeper, on bee keeping. This past August the hotel had their first official honey harvest, where 100+ lbs. of honey was collected. The honey is incorporated into dishes at Miel “Brasserie Provencale,” the Provence-inspired brasserie located on the ground level of the hotel overlooking Boston’s Fort Point Channel (Miel means ‘honey’ in French).  In addition, honey will be infused into new cocktails in both RumBa and Sushi-Teq in addition to spa treatments (apitherapy) at SPA InterContinental, the hotel’s 6,600 sq. ft. spa and health club. For guests to glimpse the honey bees in action, in Miel “Brasserie Provençale” is a 24/7 “Bee T.V.” which showcases a live camera feed from the apiary.
