Description :
Glasgow City Council offer a safe and secure environment for honey bees. The beehives have taken up residence on the roof of the iconic building as part of Sustainable Glasgow’s plans for Green Year 2015.
Honeybees are important pollinators but unfortunately they are under threat from disease, increased use of pesticides, lack of foraging and climate change.
Now Stalled Spaces and Sustainable Glasgow are increasing their numbers by housing two colonies high above George Square on the flat roof of the City Chambers. The new arrivals have already proved a huge hit with council staff who have volunteered in swarms to look after them. An appeal for volunteers to be trained in hive management was inundated and there is now a waiting list to join the course.
