An Post Honey Bees
We have 80,000 to 120,000 dark Irish honeybees on the roof of the GPO in Dublin. Due to the possibility that our wild bee population is being put under stress as they are all competing for the same food sources, we made a change in 2022 and moved our GPO bees to an “out apiary” in north County Dublin where they are happily foraging among the hedgerows. We are also focussing our support on pollinators more in need of help in our biodiversity strategy, as our wild bees and pollinators (moths, wasps, flies, hoverflies, butterflies) all need food, shelter and safety to preserve the natural capital of Ireland.
