While bee initiatives offer clear wins for both bees and city residents, fears — mostly unfounded — can sometimes stifle the progress of beekeeping in urban environments. Policymakers need to seek to understand and educate on the huge benefits and minimal risks — and recognize beekeeping as a safe, sustainable, and profitable venture. Quickly reversing the downward trend in bee diversity is essential, and part of the solution is most certainly beekeeping in cities and urban spaces. The more educated we become about urban beekeeping, the faster we can take action, and do our part in the recovery of our global bee population.
