Urban Bee Keeping

Urban Bee Keeping

Support open pollination

More than 80% of crops and flowering plants in Europe depend directly on bees for their pollination. Without bees, we risk losing significantly fruit and vegetables grown in Europe. Keeping bees in urban areas such as on rooftops or in community gardens promotes open pollination by increasing the number of bees in cities. The practice has become increasingly popular in recent years as people have become more interestes in sustainable living. Many urban bee keepers also harvest honey from their hives which can be sold or used for private consumption. Urban beekeping can additionally be a great way to educate people about the importance of bees and the role they play in our food systems and environment.
