Many urban areas now attempt to regulate the activity; [4] while registering beehives is often mandatory, a high proportion of urban beekeepers do not inform the city. The popularity of urban beekeeping was growing rapidly c. 2012 [ 4 ] perhaps due to its inclusion in the local food movement . [ 5 ]
In the case of urban beekeeping, hives are often located on high ground, which requires less space than hives located at lesser altitudes. [5] To direct the bees' path of flight in populous urban areas, beekeepers often construct tall fences which force the bees to fly higher and widen their search for food [ 5 ] or place the hives in an ...
Related to natural beekeeping, urban beekeeping is an attempt to revert to a less-industrialized way of obtaining honey by using small-scale colonies that pollinate urban gardens. Some have found city bees are healthier than rural bees because there are fewer pesticides and greater biodiversity in urban gardens. [ 82 ]
Beekeeping – bees are kept for their products (principally honey), and their utility in pollinating crops; Bees and toxic chemicals; Brood (honey bee) – the egg, larval, and pupal form of the bee and the comb in which they develop; Buckfast bee – a productive breed of bee suitable for damp and cloudy climes

The most striking feature of urban agriculture, which distinguishes it from rural agriculture, is that it is integrated into the urban economic and ecological system: urban agriculture is embedded in -and interacting with- the urban ecosystem.
Urban development occurs around areas where Indigenous Peoples lived as these areas are easy for transport and the natural environmental is fruitful. When developing areas of urban land, consideration should go towards the intimate levels of knowledge held by Indigenous Peoples and the biocultural and linguistic diversity of the place. [84]
An out growth (OG) is an urban settlement contiguous to another urban area (such as a statutory town, census town, or city) that possesses urban characteristics but is not qualified as an independent town. It should not possess any uninhabited areas, and should be strictly contiguous with the town. [1] The 2011 Census of India defined it as:
A 2005 three-part study tested the working memory of honey bees, after learning to associate a certain pattern with a reward (delayed matching-to-sample). Bees were shown a pattern at the beginning of a tunnel, and then subjected to a series of variations: in the length of the tunnel (How long can bees retain the pattern in working memory?), in a choice between two patterns (matching and non ...
