However, urbanization presents significant challenges. The replacement of native plants with exotic ornamental species can reduce the nutritional quality of available pollen. Furthermore, the widespread use of pesticides in city parks and private gardens poses a direct threat to bee health. A recent study in Berlin found that despite an abundance of bee species, populations were notably lower in heavily manicured, high-traffic zones compared to wilder, unmanaged green spaces. The study concluded that city planning which prioritizes native plantings and reduces chemical interventions is essential for sustaining urban bee biodiversity.
