We are happy to welcome new residents to the creative city “Grīziņdārzs” as one of our complex buildings has become home to 10 beehives. This initiative is part of the “Grīziņdārzs” project’s goals to promote a greener environment and biodiversity in the urban environment.

The beehives will be tended by Jānis Šnikvalds, a well-known urban beekeeper in Latvia, who has overseen several successful projects, including the placement of beehives in Mežaparks behind the Song Festival stage and on the roof of the department store “Stockmann.”

The beehives are located on the roof of the K4 office building. The bees will pollinate and collect honey all summer—from June to August—promoting a healthy environment for flowers and plants in the surrounding green areas. The practice of urban beekeeping makes a valuable contribution to the city’s ecosystem and offers city dwellers the opportunity to learn about the importance of bees and observe their work up close.

The creative city “Grīziņdārzs” project is based on green thinking and responsible action in the urban environment. Cooperation with the beekeeper Jānis Šnikvalds and installing beehives provide environmental benefits and directly benefit the office complex residents. Improved air quality, reduced stress levels, the possibility of obtaining local honey, and informative activities about the importance of bees—all contribute to a positive atmosphere and promote a conscious attitude towards the environment.

With this initiative, the “Grīziņdārzs” team also encourages other companies and residents to consider getting involved in similar projects to promote biodiversity conservation and improve the urban environment.
