Last summer, the Fairmont Royal York impressed the locavore crowd by installing three beehives on its iconic roof. The bees were happy up there with the hotel’s thriving herb and veggie gardens, so management doubled the size of its royal family this month with the addition of three more queens. Their 120,000 servants should produce more than 600 pounds of honey by September—the sticky stuff will appear in everything from cakes to soups to pedicures.
