The palatial beehives were created for the Carniolan bees and were orignally located in Shropshire, circa. 2005/06. The superior domiciles are now located on the roof of the iconic building at 181 Piccadilly.
F&M say that "they (the bees) fly high above Mayfair, visiting the grounds, gardens and squares of the best addresses in London, gathering rather superior nectar. The first batch of Fortnum's rooftop honey will be unusually fine, thanks to the wide variety of flora in the immediate vicinity, and the pollen from numerous chestnut and lime trees."
