Hong Kong's hive of business
Report and vocabulary
Transcript
It may be a concrete jungle but Hong Kong has more similarities with the great outdoors than you might think.
14 storeys up a skyscraper, you can find one of the 11 urban beehives around the city.
Like many conurbations, Hong Kong has enough flora for bees to pollinate and harvest nectar from.
Following Chinese tradition beekeepers in Hong Kong don't wear any protective gear.
コンクリートジャングルかも知れないが、香港をあなた方が思うより大きな屋外と類似性を持っている。
摩天楼を１４階まで上がると、この市のまわりには１１の市街の巣箱の一つを見ることができる。
多くの集合都市のように、香港は蜂が授粉して花蜜を収穫するに十分な植物圏を持っている。
中国の伝統に従って、香港の養蜂者達はどんな防護具も身につけない。
