My dad has 2 hives at his summer cottage yard and today those bees stung him and mom because of the lack of place for their honey ( dad is sick and forgot to remove the honey from the cells). This honey is really pure. As to the honey from the roof of the building in Paris downtown - it's as pure as the water in the Seine;))))
Your first picture is nice, OC;)

there are hives also in the Jardin du Luxembourg, whose bees pollinate the entire Jardin and many nearby trees as well.

Hahaha!
Very interesting idea!

You can see the beekeeping episode in the documentary on the Paris National Opera Ballet, "La Danse."

And I can remember buying some from the Boutique in the Palais Garnier. Rather expensive I recall, and not exceptional.
