There is not much green left in contemporary Istanbul. At this moment the largest green area - Taksim Park in Beyoglu district is going to be rebuilt.
In fact this walk is done to pay attention to a hidden world of nature in the city, the one we don't notice any more. It is based on the facts about bees, about Istanbul hidden hives, about pollination of plants, gardens and abandoned spaces, and based on old maps from 1900s. But this walk is not so much about the past and not so much about the bees as it is about man’s relationship to nature, food, the city, and their common future.
