Cities rethink beekeeping as honeybee boom may strain wild bees

The rising popularity of urban beekeeping has raised concerns about honeybee well-being and the impact they might have on wild bee populations in cities. A collaborative study by beekeepers, political stakeholders and research institutions, including researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has resulted in the "Urban Bee Concept," which includes measures to foster co-existence between honeybees and wild bees in cities. The study is published in the journal People and Nature.
