Hi, Jan
 
I live in Kaunas, apr. 400,000 citizen. At the outskirts one can see some hives. There are many limetrees in some parts of our town. I rarely notice any bee while lime blooming time.
 
I haven't heard the bee keeping was forbidden. But what is a reason to have them in town ? I suppose such honey should be contaminated at least with lead. We almost don't have Buckfast bees but Caucasian, Carnica, mixed with local ones. One my such "Carnika" is very bad-tempered.
 
Good luck, Rimantas

Here in Rotterdam, we have beekeepers in the middle of the town
Hives on the roof, or in little garden
With al the parks, a great place to keep bees.
And in 1996, almost all honey was from louses
And in the sub-urbs, always anything is blomming
 
greeting, jan
