Urban beekeeping is abuzz on Athens rooftops
High above the traffic of Athens, more residents of the Greek capital are embracing urban beekeeping. Beekeepers say they want to support local ecosystems and reconnect with nature. Urban beekeeping is neither new. Decades ago, Greek families brought hives with them when they moved from the countryside. Despite growing interest, would-be beekeepers can be stopped by objections from fellow residents of their apartment buildings. But Athens’ constant bloom cycles of different pollinator-friendly plants makes it an ideal setting to experiment. Varying tastes come from the proportion of eucalyptus, acacia and bitter orange present in different areas of the city.
