A buzz about town

I’m in an expensive hotel in the centre of Paris. 1_____ The hotel owner, Jean Leforestier, tells me that the
honey is from the hotel’s own bees. I imagine that the hotel has a farm somewhere in the countryside, but
Jean is smiling. ‘Would you like to see the bees?’ he asks. ‘They’re upstairs.’

I’m surprised, but I follow Jean up the stairs. On the roof of the hotel, far above the busy streets of Paris,
there is a roof garden. 2_____ I can see them flying around. They live in six small hives made of wood, and
they make honey for the hotel’s guests. 3_____ Some people have gardens, but you don’t need much room
for a small hive. Like Jean at the hotel, people are building them on rooftops or on balconies. In the city of
Paris there are over 400 hives. It’s surprising, but research shows that bees in the city are healthier and
produce more honey than their country cousins. Research suggests that the use of chemicals on farms, and
the size of modern farms are not good for bees. The farmers plant huge fields with just one type of crop.
4_____ When the farmers cut their crops to sell them, the bees have almost no food left. In the city, bees
visit our parks, gardens, balconies and flower beds. 5_____ They can produce honey for longer each year.
Next time you’re in the park, look out for bees buzzing among the flowers. There might be an urban bee
keeper in your town too!

A. In fact, more and more people in big cities are keeping bees. _____

B. Alice Jennings keeps bees at her farm in Devon. _____

C. It’s breakfast time and I’m putting some honey on my bread. _____

D. This means that bees have only one type of food. _____

E. Urban bees can have up to 250 different types of food. _____

F. This is where the hotel keeps its bees. _____

Dear Jean,

How are you doing? I'm writing to you from Hai Dang Ke Ga in Phan Thiet. I'm there with my
family. We have a great time, though the weather isn't OK, as we'd like. Therefore, we spent our
first day on a campsite, where we are staying. Yesterday morning, we climbed up to the lighthouse.
How great the view was! In the afternoon, we went to the beach to sunbathe and have a bath in the
sea. Tomorrow, we're taking a tree boat on the lake next to our campsite. In the evening, we are
going shopping and then eating ice-cream. On Saturday, we're buying some souvenirs. On Sunday,
we're coming back home. Anyway, I'll tell you everything when you will arrive at me next week.

Hope to see you!

Bye for now!
