Rīgas centrā uz jumta dzīvoja bites.
In the center of Riga, bees lived on the roof.
Tās kopa vīrs vārdā Jānis.
It was curated by a man named Jānis.
Viņš strādāja bibliotēkā un bites turēja brīvajā laikā.
He worked at the library and kept bees in his free time.
Kaimiņi sākumā baidījās un rakstīja sūdzības.
At first, the neighbors were afraid and wrote complaints.
Jānis uzaicināja visus uz jumtu paskatīties.
Jānis invited everyone to look at the roof.
Viņš izdalīja medu katrai dzīvoklim mājā.
He distributed honey to every apartment in the house.
Nākamajā gadā vēl trīs jumti dabūja stropus.
The following year, three more roofs received hives.
Tagad pilsētā ir vairāk nekā simts stropu.
There are now more than a hundred hives in the city.
