Looks like Bentley isn't the only auto manufacturer that has taken up beekeeping.

Lamborghini has announced that it is renewing its focus on protecting the planet this World Bee Day (20 May, in case you're wondering).

The firm states that there are already 17 beehives housed in the apiary created within Lamborghini Park – the product of an environmental biomonitoring programme launched in 2016 to monitor the quality of the environment surrounding the Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters through the observation and analysis of these insects' activity.

The apiary is said to now house a population of approximately 800,000 bees, more than 120,000 of which fly daily across the surrounding area. These operate within Lamborghini Park - a space that covers seven hectares and is home to more than 10,000 plants, while also being open to employees, the local community and scientific research.

The biomonitoring programme project is said to represent the firm’s goal of making a tangible contribution to protecting the Planet and safeguarding ecosystems.
