IPHH Datacenter, part of the Portus Data Centers Group, has grown by another very special team:

Around 30,000 bees moved onto our roof on 5 May and are now supporting us as “employees” of a slightly different kind.

They fly out every day within a radius of around three kilometres, reorienting themselves in no time at all and ensuring that delicious honey is being produced - depending on what is blossoming around our data center: from lime trees and chestnuts to other flowering trees and plants. Billerhuder Island is not far away - and very green. So everybody benefits.

We are delighted to be making a contribution to biodiversity and sustainability with this project - and are looking forward to our first honey harvest.

And if you are a customer of IPHH Internet Port Hamburg GmbH in the data center, there is a good chance that you too will get a (small) pot as of autumn 2025 :-)

Many thanks to PLACE4BEES for the realisation of this project 🫶
