Exeter shopping centre becomes home to 10,000 bees

The roof of a shopping centre has become home to 10,000 honey bees in Exeter, Great Britain.

Bee-friendly plants and features have been installed on top of the Princesshay centre, consisting of raised beds and an irrigation system to ensure the plants thrive.

The first colony of bees has settled in well and we're ready now to help establish the second colony in their new hive – BBC wrote.

The decline of the honey bee is a well-documented problem and projects like this all help to keep this important species part of the UK habitat. (MTI)
