Aroundtown commits to biodiversity - Aroundtown harvests for the first time around 340kg of city honey from its own production in 2020.

Aroundtown employs its own registered beekeeper, who has already settled 18 economic colonies and 9 young colonies on the roofs of Aroundtown's commercial properties in and around Berlin since spring 2020. At the end of the year, about 340kg of city honey could be obtained from the first harvest which was given as a gift to the employees of Aroundtown on Saint Nicholas Day.

With the project, Torsten Hernández Trigo became a full-time beekeeper at Aroundtown. He is already a registered beekeeper, has been taking care of his own bee colonies in his spare time for 3 years and is also a member of the Berlin-Reinickendorf Beekeepers Association.

Commitment to biodiversity

Protecting biodiversity in the long term is one of the most important tasks of mankind. As the basis of our ecosystem, it contributes to the purification of water and air. It also secures our food production and helps us mitigate climate change. That's why Aroundtown is committed to preserving biodiversity. The “Aroundtown Hums”-project ensures the persistence of bees in the urban area and will be expanded to other buildings and cities within the next three years. The plan is to double the number of bee colonies each year.
