This is a single hive, in a wild garden, on the roof of 10 Finsbury Square, London. This hive is placed as part of a growing initiative which has about 30 hives across Central London at the moment. During the summer this hive will have 40-50,000 bees, right now it's reducing for Winter and there are about 10,000 and only about 5,000 bees will make it through to next Spring.
