Keeping bees in town

In Brussels and Ghent, two cities in Belgium, two persons, independently from each other, were concerned about the dramatic decrease in bee population and decided to start an initiative to promote apiculture or beekeeping in the city. Liesbeth Hiele started the project Apicula in Ghent and Marc Wollast the project Apic Bruoc Sella in Brussels. They're both now beekeepers with several beehives on the roofs of buildings in Ghent and Brussels.
Read more about their story on the weblog Apicula or here (in Dutch) or the website of Apis Bruoc Sella (in French and Dutch).
