Dante’s place in Port Nadine was a shuttered souvenir store between a storage centre and a warehouse. Not ideal for bees, but it would have to do.

Adam constructed a wooden hive on the roof, again tracing occult symbols, as he had done with the tree in the woods.

This new hive entrance now connected to the same hive as the tree, beyond space and time. The bees could access either exit. Adam could access it from here.

So this was urban beekeeping. It would be good to add some flowers around the city. Another way to improve the world.
