Dublin Bus has one of the lowest emission fleets in Europe, with its modern buses producing 87% less emissions per person than car users. The honey is then used to feed the bees, with some left over for Dublin Bus employees to enjoy. Beehives located in cities produce healthier and more productive bees, as urban bees have access to greater biodiversity which results in a more varied diet and stronger immune systems.
