For the past tens of millions of years, hymenopterans were closely evolving complex mutualistic relationship with flowering plants, acting as pollinators as well as seed spreaders. One of the most famous example in this symbiosis is the European honeybee, for its historical as well as agricultural utilisation. Unfortunately, populations of this spectacular insect are not that abundant in an urban environment. One of the potential solutions to this issue is to create artificial urban nesting grounds for bees, reuniting large cities with natural biological cycles and homeostasis. Rooftop beehives seem to be an optimal implementation, mainly for minimal requirements for space and modification of pre-existing structures. In Czech Republic, this project is a courtesy of the rooftop beekeeping c
