The benefits for urban environments that come with introducing honeybees in the city were explored and discussed - backed up by a presentation on the situation of the bees of the Brussels Apiary. [The Honeybee Observatory came out very reduced after the winter. See also here.]
Honey Foraging in Urban Environments
Parking lot daisies, green-roof-apple-trees, balcony-tomatoes – all you can eat for city-bees! The presence of honeybees beneficially influences conservation of floral species and encourages city inhabitants to re-nature their lives by greening backyards and terraces. Urban apiaries boost the city’s agricultural productivity and provide deliciously divers honey with characteristic city-scape tastes. An exploration on how bees connect to local vegetal and animal wildlife and alter the experience of urban public spaces altogether. [From Pixelache Herbologies/Foraging]
