Do you all know that bees are flying in the sky of Ginza? ・・・・
Bees are called "environmental indicator animals" and cannot live long in environments where pesticides and pesticides are often used.
However, since 2006, the rooftop of the Paper and Pulp Hall has been used as a home to collect and transport dense from honey sources in the Ginza area.
The area where honeybees can carry honey is a radius of 4 km and the height seems to fly well about 50 meters.
Ginza seems to be far from the natural environment, but the nectar source carries nectar unrelated to pesticides from Hamarikyu, Hibiya Park, the Imperial Palace, street trees and flower beds.
On the roof of the paper pulp hall in Ginza, people of the "NPO Ginza Bee Project" keep Western bees and Japanese bees, actually collect and bottle them, sell them, or cooperate with confectioneries to make sweets together.
Honey is also sold at the honey specialty store "Laveil Ginza" on Matsuya Ginza B1F.

Let me see you
Thank you very much.
A population spleen frame made of straw material.
In a month, it accumulates so dense that it can be collected.
Take nectar with a knife.
There is more bissiri nectar around May and June, but it is less in September.
Put the dried nectar in a stirrer.
Last year, 800 kg of nectar was collected, but this year it will be around 860 kg.
There are many be-gardens on the rooftop of the Ginza Building and other to nurture Ginza bees.
① Ginza Blossom rooftop: canola flower
② Whitezuru Sake Brewery Rooftop ... Sake rice edamame
③ Matsuya Ginza rooftop ... Summer vegetables (Nasuedamame sweet potato)
④ Tokyo Gallery ... is very popular with customers.
⑤ Marronnier gate
The following is a rooftop farm planting schedule scheduled for the roof of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building.
"Ginza Bee Project" is growing, supported by many companies and many individual members.
I borrowed a special combination of white jackets and green hats with nets in the hut where I received the interview very comfortably and worked on the bee.
Bees are perfume, hangovers, dislike the smell of sweat and get angry on rainy days, cloudy days, and cold days, so nestling box cannot be opened.
We hope that everyone will understand Ginza well in consideration of small creatures, and that pesticide-free flowers and vegetables will grow on the roof of the building.
