Do you know that bees are dancing in the sky of Ginza? ・・・・
Bees are called "environmental indicators animals" and cannot live for a long time in environments where pesticides and pesticides are often used.
However, since 2006, the roof of the "Pulp & Paper Building" has been collected and transported densely from the honey source in the Ginza area as a home.
The range where honey bees can carry honey is 4 km in radius and it seems that they fly well about 50 meters high.
Ginza seems to be far from the natural environment, but the honey source carries nectar that is not related to pesticides from Hamarikyu, Hibiya Park, the Imperial Palace, street trees and flower beds.
On the roof of the Pulp & Paper Building in Ginza, the people of the "NPO Ginza Bee Project" keep Western bees and Japanese bees, actually collect and bottle honey, sell them, and cooperate with confectionery stores to make sweets together.
Honey is also sold at the honey specialty store "L'abeille Ginza" on the B1F of Matsuya Ginza.

Let me see
I got it.
Population spleen frame made of straw material.
After a month, the dense accumulates enough to gather.
I'll take nectar with a knife.
There is more bissily nectar around May and June, but it is less since it is September.
Put the molasses in the stirrer.
It is said that 800 kg of honey was collected last year, but this year it will be around 860 kg.
There are many be-gardens on the rooftop of the Ginza Building and other places to nurture Ginza bees.
① Ginza Blossom Rooftop ... canola flower
② Shiratsuru Sake Brewery Rooftop ...・・・Sake rice edamame
③ Matsuya Ginza Rooftop ... Summer vegetables (Nasudamame sweet potato)
④ Tokyo Gallery...・・・・・・・It is popular with customers.
⑤ Marronnier gate
The following is a rooftop farm planting schedule scheduled for the rooftop of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building.
"Ginza Bee Project" is growing supported by many companies and many individual members.
Regarding the interview, I received very pleasantly and rented a white jacket and a green hat with a net, which made a special upper and lower combination in the hut where the bee work was done.
Bees hate perfume, hangovers, sweat odors, rainy days, cloudy days, cold days, and cold days, so nestling box is not open.
We hope that everyone will understand Ginza well in consideration of small creatures, and that pesticide-free flowers and vegetables will grow on the rooftop of the building.
