Al Jazeera: South Korea: Bee-keeping trend grows in Seoul

"Seoul is surrounded by mountains. But daily life, green space within the reach of your hands is more important than greenery you can look at," he said."

Constantly providing more green space within living areas is one of Seoul’s core policies.

"It is hoped that greenery will attract more bees. That would help to pollinate more plants as environmentalists foresee a dramatic decline in the global bee population.

While beekeeping cannot reverse the trend, it can raise awareness.

In the largest metropolis of South Korea, people have signed up to study the art of keeping bees in the city, which could cast a greener light over a grey cityscape.
