Urban Bee Keeping

Bees make the world go round! Now with this very well designed concept, you can have your very own bee hive at home. Honey bees are a very important part of our ecosystem, but for the past few years their colonies have been in a decline leading to drastically reduced bee population. Strangely, bees seem to be doing better in urban areas than in the countryside. For those concerned with the well being of our tiny friends, this new product from Philips may be something of a help.

The designer beehive would go well with urban decorations, and even allow them to get fresh and delicious honey. It has an entry passage at the rear and honey can be collected by releasing smoke into the chamber and opening the top cover. It should work pretty well in cities where beekeeping is legal.
