The beehives on the roof of Fortnum & Mason in London may be the most beautiful in the world. I took the picture above when I visited them in London last year.
Before the hives were installed on F&M’s roof, they were showcased in a Chris Beardshaw-designed garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Whether you prefer formal or rustic, there are endless possibilities for beautiful beekeeping!

Do bees like living on the roof rather than in a garden? Seems odd to me. What do I know though.
Same here. I have many unscientific beekeeping theories, one of which is that bees enjoy being part of a family. They like to live at the bottom of the garden.
But then, that’s just me. 🙂
Thanks. I thought I had missed a lesson somewhere.:)
