The Pollinator Pathway is a participatory art, design and ecology social sculpture [1] initiative founded by the artist and designer Sarah Bergmann. Its objective is to connect existing isolated green spaces and create a more hospitable urban environment for pollinators like bees with a system of ecological corridors of flowering plants by using existing urban infrastructure such as curb space ...

Beekeeping (or apiculture) is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in artificial beehives. Honey bees in the genus Apis are the most commonly kept species but other honey producing bees such as Melipona stingless bees are also kept.
Explaining the observed high levels of complexity in ecosystems [1] has been one of the main challenges and motivations for ecological network analysis, since early theory predicted that complexity should lead to instability. [2] Connectance: the proportion of possible links between species that are realized (links/species 2). In food webs, the ...
The Apiary Laboratory, more often referred to as the Apiary, is a research laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Originally built for the study of honey bees and apiculture , today it is primarily used to study native pollinator species and the chemicals and pathogens impacting their populations.
Some notable projects of urbanlab are the Analysis and Development of the Urban Planning Documentation System and Analysis and Development Program for Legislative Basis of the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments, realized with the support of Counterpart International Armenia and the USAID presented widely to stakeholders of the field.
