200.000 bees that were living on the roof of Notre Dame have survived the fire blaze! These three hives were put on the cathedral’s rooftop in 2013 for biodiversity project by Nicolas Géant. He said that the bees
were going in and out of their homes this morning. Each hive produces approximately 25 kg of honey each year which is sold to the Notre Dame staff.Nicolas Géant was extremely happy to announce that his bees have survived the fire that was raging for over 12 hours on Monday. The fire destroyed the spire and almost all of the ornate centuries-old roof of Notre Dame.
He says: ‘Until this morning, I had had no news,’.
‘At first, I thought that the three hives had burned but I had no information after Monday’s fire. Then I saw from satellite images that this was not the case and then the cathedral spokesman told me that they were going in and out of the hives.’ – he adds.

Where's the scaffolding?
The masonry looks remarkably clear of soot?
"Then I saw from satellite images that this was not the case" What sort of access to satellite images does Monsieur Géant have?
Or does he not want to loose out on his 50% mark-up?
M Lavercombe, you apparently are not in favor of bees atop Notre Dame. Is it the "50% markup" that annoys you? I'm wondering 50 percent of what? Also, you refer to the condition of the church's roof as revealed by the Daily Mail's satellite photo as though the photo was taken after the fire. How do you know when it was taken?
Thank you. Before this, I heard only that the hives had survived, which made me unsure if the bees or just the hives were intact. I was still very much wondering about that when I saw this post.
Yes! Beejus saves. All is well.
I didn't know there were bees up there in the first place. Now that I do I am so happy to hear they are ok :)
