- Urban_beekeeping abstract "Urban beekeeping is the practice of keeping bee colonies in urban areas. It may also be referred to as hobby beekeeping or backyard beekeeping.Most cities in North America at one time prohibited the keeping of bees, but in recent years beekeepers have had success in overturning bee bans. Many urban areas now regulate beekeeping. While registering beehives is often mandatory, a high proportion of urban beekeepers fail to inform the city.The popularity of urban beekeeping was growing rapidly c. 2012 perhaps due to its inclusion in the local food movement. Between 1999 and 2012 London saw a 220% increase in beekeepers. The number of urban beehives varies greatly from city to city and official counts may be inaccurate as hives are often not registered.Unperturbed by urban pollutants, bees from city apiaries are "healthier and more productive than their country cousins". The presence of bees also provides cities with environmental and economic benefits. Bees pollinate a wide variety of plants, and the honey they produce is often sold to local restaurants and in local shops.As cities have limited greenspaces, the increasing popularity of the hobby may lead to lower honey yields as has happened in London and New York. Another problem created by a surfeit of bees is swarming, when a queen leaves an overcrowded colony with a retinue of workers to start her own.People take up urban beekeeping for a number of reasons. Many hobbyists are concerned about the future of bees and their main interest is in creating a sustainable urban ecology. Some believe that locally sourced honey also contributes to a healthier lifestyle for people by providing a minimally processed sweetener. Others claim it assists with allergy control although this has not been scientifically proven.".
