Planet 21: Bee Hives

Did you know that 50% of Brussels urban area is covered by parks in which you can find 700 different varieties of plant species. Taking into consideration that bees travel up to 3 kilometers around their hives and that the Jubilee park and Leopold park are just around the corner, it became coherent to say that the roof of Sofitel Brussels is the right place for bee hives.

Urban bee hives can produce up to 40 kilos of honey, it is huge if you compare it to the 22 kilos produced in rural conditions. Our hives do not produce as much but just enough for us to use it in our breakfast room and for our Chef to use it in some of his creations; and our guests love it!
