Pop-up beehive bike!

Notice something?  No address.... these guys are better artists and beekeepers than business people
I'm waiting for my first bee-hive to be delivered by Michael Leung of Hong Kong Honey.  He's been here and checked us out and said we've got an ideal place for a hive.  It'll be in what I call our "kitchen garden", by the mango and lychee trees, just next to the passionfruit vine.
Meantime, I've got this email today from Michael and his mates:

Good evening all,

We hope you're all staying dry in this typhoon weather.

We're pleased to let you know that we've just designed the Pop-up  
Beehive for STRIDA, a fold-up bicycle company.

Pop-up Beehive is a STRIDA bike that allows bees to pollinate and  
harvest honey from a large variety of flowers, in various locations. A  
beehive safely attaches on the back of a customised STRIDA bike.  
Beekeepers can cycle to exotic locations to temporarily place the bees  
and beehive and allow them to explore and feast on local flora. One  
month plus later the beekeeper can return back to the beehive by bike  
and harvest the honey, before relocating the beehive to another  
location rich in flora.

This morning Michael rode the Pop-up Beehive down Nathan Road in rush  
hour traffic with Joseph from the Handsome Bag Co., to where the  
STRIDA Riding Green 展覽 exhibition is.

Please pop down to K11 for the STRIDA Riding Green 展覽 X K11 Design  
Store exhibition. Other bikes have been designed by our friends such  
as Graphic Airlines, Flwrider and Start from Zero.

STRIDA Riding Green 展覽 X K11 Design Store exhibition
23rd June - 14th August 2011
Daily 11am - 10pm

Have a nice evening,

HK Honey
