A few years ago my brother and his wife drove overland to the Black Sea via several ex-Soviet countries. This what he wrote:
Here are the two photos of beehives in Romania. The old beehives were in an old fortified church in Viscri, a UNESCO world heritage site in the Saxon part of Romania. Quite an out of the way location but now getting more tourists. Prince Charles bought a house in Viscri to support local efforts to retain the original Saxon way of living involving only limited influence of post WW2 developments. The problem is that his house attracts more people to the village and dilutes the efforts to keep things unchanged.
Just outside the village we saw this travelling beehive lorry, presumably providing a pollination service although we were there in September long past pollination time.
