Anybody who suffers from melissophobia or apiphobia — a fear of bees — had better think twice about visiting Hapag Lloyd’s HQ, which is now home to 30,000 of these small, striped insects.
The German liner giant established the colony on the roof of its administration building on Rosenstrasse in Hamburg in April.
“With the bees, we want to contribute to the preservation of biological diversity in urban areas and help to stabilise the bee population in Germany as a whole,” says Samuel Stuber from Hapag Lloyd’s corporate communications department.
