Busy bees: Part-time apiarists
Robin Leigh-Pemberton
The former governor of the Bank of England installed two hives in the Bank’s roof garden. In an interview with the FT he said: “You can’t handle bees, do things with them, without being totally absorbed with them. If you don’t pay attention or do something stupid, they will attack you, possibly on a massive scale.”
