"Btw, pollination can be very efficient in cities as well -- I have a cute story. Fortnum & Mason's on Piccadilly have beehives on the roof of their store (right in the heart of central London) and they sell the honey made by the rooftop bees at the store.

At least the bees at F&Ms get to munch on the Queens daffs over in the Buckingham Palace gardens."
