Libraries and bees

I first saw bee hives at Salt Lake City where they were/are on the roof top of the library, but visible inside.



I have also seen them at Anythink Perl Mack as part of the community garden,


Anythink Wright Farms, also as part of the community garden



and Robbins Library, on a closed balcony.


They also had a display downstairs, about the bees, and the partnership with the local bee keepers.

Cornell Library has digitised some important work about bees.

There are probably many more libraries with bees.  I really like this development, as it has an educative and environmental approach.  It would be lovely to see more libraries with bees.

Robbins Library, Arlington, MA

This was a very nice library, with a recent addition to an earlier library.  They were promoting the Massachusetts wide ebooks collaboration,


which interestingly was not being promoted in other libraries I visited there.
They are also in the growing number of libraries with bees

You can see more photographs of the library here.
