Do Brisbane’s beekeepers hold the key to saving the world’s bees? - SilverKris

"Started in 2012 by urban beekeeper Jack Stone and a co-founder as an education-focused beekeeping venture, this rooftop operation manages dozens of apiaries across the city and beyond, ultimately operating around 120 hives across Queensland. It works with corporate clients (including international hotels) and harvests distinctly different honeys even from neighbouring frames—because each hive and foraging route produces its own flavour profile. The team works with European honeybees (Apis mellifera), uses smokers to calm colonies for inspections, and highlights how urban floral diversity can yield five different-tasting honeys from a single rooftop site." - Holly Robertson
