Tokyo bees make honey high over Ginza
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20090816x1.html

Forget Chanel, Cartier and H&M, the buzz on Ginza — long Tokyo's most glitzy
shopping and entertainment district — is now all about . . . honeybees.

That's because more than 300,000 Western and Japanese honeybees are being
kept there on the roof of the 11-story Pulp & Paper Building by members of
the Ginza Honey Bee Project. Every morning, the bees take to the air from
their wooden hives and disperse throughout the neighborhood in search of
flowers from which they collect pollen and sugary nectar — returning later
with the pollen collected in "baskets" on their hind legs and the nectar,
from which they make honey, stored in a specialized extra stomach.
