Notre Dame bees survive blaze
European bees – unlike other species – stay by their hive after sensing danger, gorging on honey and working to protect their queen.
High temperatures would have posed the biggest risk, but Mr Géant explained that any smoke would have simply intoxicated them.
“Instead of killing them, the carbon dioxide makes them drunk, puts them to sleep,” he told AP.
Beekeepers commonly use smoke to sedate the insects and gain access to their hive.

“I was incredibly sad about Notre-Dame because it’s such a beautiful building,” Mr Géant said in an interview with CNN.
“But to hear there is life when it comes to the bees, that’s just wonderful.”
“Thank goodness the flames didn’t touch them,” he added. “It’s a miracle!”
