The beekeeper of Notre Dame Cathedral is in limbo waiting to hear the fate of his 18,000 bees.
Géant said he has been flooded with messages from all around the world asking if the insects had survived the fire. “I will try again tomorrow,” he said.
“There is a historic relationship between bees and the church, for a long time they used the wax from the bees to make the candles,” he explained. Olivier De Châlus, the chief tour guide at the cathedral, struggled Wednesday to look at the wreckage without welling up.“This church is really a friend for me, I know the church as you can know a person — I spent so much time going to look at her and to find all the details that no one ever saw before,” he said.
