How to install an urban beehive

  • 8 years ago
A cool video of a beekeeper setting up a new urban beehive on the roof of a building in Canada.

The footage, filmed by YouTuber Viva Frei on Monday, shows the beekeeper handling the baby honey bees and demonstrating that they can't sting or even fly properly yet.

He also explains how they make honey and points out the queen who's wandering amongst the worker bees in the centre of the hive.

The filmer later wrote online: "I've just started at my new career of director of business development at N/A Communications.

"It's a social innovation/impact agency that focuses on purpose-driven startups, and companies that are doing good and bettering the social landscape."

"We came in contact with a cool local startup in Montreal that installs honeybee hives," he continued.

"They produce honey on tap, they are great for the environment in terms of pollination, so we decided to give it a shot and install one at the office.

"This is the installation process and breakdown of how the system works.

"It is absolutely incredible, and the honey is delicious."
