RE[home] : Bees On the Roof

Thursday, November 12, 2026

Can Belfast’s businesses become better homes for pollinators?

What happens when businesses give bees a home on the roof? RE[home] brings together organisations already keeping rooftop hives to share their experiences, lessons learned and the stories behind their buzz-worthy projects.

In partnership with Northern Ireland Housing Executive, hear from local beekeepers about what it’s really like to keep bees in the city, why pollinators matter and how businesses can support the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan.

Thinking about your own hive? Our speakers will share a practical Bee Hive Starter Pack, covering how to get started, what you need and the likely costs involved.
