German liner operator Hapag-Lloyd is enjoying the sweet taste of success after boosting the output of more than 30,000 winged workers on the roof of its Hamburg headquarters.

The company set up a colony of bees there in April 2019.

The container line called the apiary project "a genuine win-win", as the bees help the surrounding natural environment in their role as pollinators, while "bringing smiles to our faces" with their Hanseatic honey.
