Mr. Yujiro Nakayama is an urban beekeeper, raising bees on the rooftops of urban buildings, with the aim of creating cities that coexist with nature. In recent years, this has gained attention as an initiative that contributes to the conservation of green spaces in urban areas and the revitalization of local communities. In order to sustain an environment where bees, known as environmental indicator organisms, can fly around in good health, Mr. Nakayama hopes to hold regular events to create new opportunities for interactions between people that transcend occupation and age. What kind of future does he envision?
