More than 160,000 bees now call West End home after Bee One Founder Jack Stone installed four beehives on top of the Westpac Bank building on Boundary Street.

Mr Stone started the company to educate Brisbane’s inner-city population about the importance of bees in the global food system.

The bees are apart of a “green installation” at the $2 billion West Village development and is hoped to collect over 160 kilograms of honey from the harvests a year.

The first harvest of honey from the West Village is scheduled for October.
