If you are a serious fashionista (or whatever the male equivalent is if you are in possession of a Y chromosome) who would love to don the not-so-stylish bee keeper’s outfit from time to time, you might be in luck. The makers of the chic Eglu chicken coop have come up with an equally modern abode for bees, called the ‘Beehaus.’ It’s worth checking out if for no other reason than the company seems to come up with ridiculously clever names for their products.
While I am only able to find the Beehaus on the manufacturer’s UK website, I first saw it featured on Apartment Therapy, who saw it in the LA Times. So I think it is available in the U.S., or will be shortly. Getting your landlord to agree that fresh honey is worth having a bee hive on the balcony of one of her units may be another story.
I wonder if this sort of apiary is a sign that bees are the new backyard chicken?
