"Our Honeybees, the ones residing in Murano, start their journey from the Honey Garden in Murano that Judi Harvest has planted in 2013 on a forgotten field behind the Giorgio Giuman Glass Factory on Sacca Serenella which today has become a beautiful flourishing garden hosting 7 Honeybee colonies. Vaporettos are essential in their commuting as they do not swim and the Laguna di Venezia does not have many places for a Honeybee to rest. They travel to and from their hives to the Cimetero to F. Nove and back. For instance, you can see them on Linea 4.2, on the roof, the windows or the ropes."
