UK - London - Urban beekeeping

Smoke is used to keep the bees at bay when the keepers work with the hives. A metal canister with leaves and bits of wood is used. Here trainee beekeers May-lynn and Chris are opening a hive in an apiary in South London. Keeping bees is a growing hobby in London and the hives and apiaries can be found in back gardens and roof tops across the capital.
