National Urban Beekeeping Day

Honeybees are vital in the natural ecosystem, but these pollinators are at risk in many places. Bees play a crucial role in pollinating a wide range of plants, including many that produce fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Urban environments often lack sufficient pollinators, so urban beekeeping helps to support local plant life and food production. By integrating beekeeping into urban environments, cities can become more resilient to ecological changes and stresses. Bees are indicators of environmental health, and their presence can help monitor and respond to ecological challenges. They pollinate city gardens or farms and provide locally sourced honey for residents. National Urban Beekeeping Day is part of a larger effort to show appreciation for, encourage education about, and support those who keep bees in urban settings. Check out these titles
