BEES AT WORK: JSE-listed Emira Property Fund has installed 16 beehives at eight of its properties in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal as part of an initiative designed to assist in addressing a decline of global bee populations. The first hives were installed in August 2020 at the Knightsbridge office park, in Bryanston and Hyde Park Lane, in Sandton. The hives are located away from areas of heavy foot traffic, are clearly sign-posted, and beekeeping activities take place at night. Emira reports that the bees have produced 85 kg of honey to date from five hive sites, with the first honey harvests shared with staff and some service providers.
