Welcome to Durst Bee Cam
Part of The Durst Organization's commitment to sustainability is our rooftop beehive initiative. Our Bee Cam is a live feed of this sustainable practice in action. Be captivated by our hardworking New York City bees, as we broadcast the buzz live from their hive atop One Bryant Park. Like our Durst Honey, Bee Cam is local, raw, undiluted, and seriously addictive.
Sustainability Overview
We were green before it was a thing. From the first LEED Platinum skyscraper in the US, to innovative waste management initiatives, environmental responsibility has been The Durst Organization’s ethos since its inception.
Strong relationships are what make us exceptional, and we continually seek new ties that further our sustainable values. Through our partnership with McEnroe Organic Farm, just two hours north of here, we grow organic produce, raise grass-fed animals, and promote the benefits of local ingredients.
We even convert the food waste from our buildings into compost that nurtures our green roofs. And these elevated urban habitats provide a home to the colonies of bees. So, in a way, that meal you didn’t finish could contribute to making the delicious and (very) local honey.
