This building was initially an experimental bee-house placed in Finsbury Park, London. It was funded by an agency charged with looking into the country's policy in keeping bees. 99% of all bees in the UK are kept solely by amateurs and beekeeping generally is on the decline. This is obviously very concerning to the government as bee pollination contributes greatly to the country's economy.

Research has been ongoing for the past two years and several prototypes have been built. The design has been finalized for all the three areas: the building, internal hives and external beehives.
