Beehive installed on cathedral roof
15 June 2010
 |
The hive is one of eight being installed at City locations including the Lloyd's building, Mansion House, the Museum of London and Sir John Cass Primary School as part of the City Bees project.
The City Bees project will be full of bee-related activities ranging from children's events to the Honey House, an installation designed to give people the chance to see bees at work.
Urban beekeeping expert Brian McCallum and his team are training up volunteers from each organisation to take care of the bees, which are expected to stay in their locations for years.
The bees on St Paul's will have a panoramic view of London from their rooftop hive more than 170ft up.
Urban beekeeping has become increasingly popular in the past few years as awareness grows of the plight of honeybees, which have suffered declines in the face of less wildflower-rich landscapes, disease and possible effects of pesticides and climate change.
