In the romantic city of lights, the bees are downright busy. Common sense says it is better to keep hives of stinging insects in the countryside, away from city centers packed with people. Yet on storied rooftops and public gardens in the urban jungle of Paris, the bee business is thriving. Bees are disappearing from fields across France and elsewhere in the world, victims of a slow decline in number because of loss of habitat compounded by a recent and mysterious catastrophe variously...

In tiny urban gardens, Britons are doing their bit to counter the mysterious worldwide decline of bees -- they are starting to keep their own.

Jon Harris, 43, was a bee novice just six months ago. Now, with hundreds of bees buzzing around him in his white protective suit, he lifts the frames out of the hive in his compact... Read Full Story

Honeybees often get a bum rap as being a nuisance. But some local beekeepers say nothing could be further from the truth, which is why they are excited that Hogle Zoo now has three beehives on display.
“A lot of people confuse hornets with bees,” says Jeff Knowlden, a beekeeper from West Valley City, who has volunteered to help Hogle Zoo with this new educational effort on honeybees.

What's the well-dressed urbanite wearing this summer? Baggy white coveralls and a beekeeping helmet.

Natural England on Wednesday gave its backing to a "new, contemporary beehive for the urban beekeeper" known as the Beehaus, which it hopes will help convince urbanites that honeybees are hot. "(The Beehaus is) a great... Read Full Story
