...with a bigger part in the day's history had now arrived, swaying camera lights marking his passage through the crowd. He made a dignified concession speech punctuated by cries of love from the drunks, his wife Janette serene beside him, looking as though she wouldn't miss the political circus for a second. Then he was into the crowd with a glass of white wine, hugging the friends and colleagues of a lifetime. There was the best man from his wedding 36 years ago; there his best mate from high school; over there his closest confidants since he entered...

But Steve Benbow, 38, is not your average fancy-food consumer. He is one of many urban apiarists, or beekeepers, in the British capital, and although he usually enters Fortnum's by the staff door and heads to the roof, where he oversees four beehives, some days he can't resist stopping on the grand ground floor for the thrill of seeing...
