Policy Summary
The results of a 3-year survey on bee pollinators in seven cities across CA found that urban gardens provided an important source of habitat for bees, promoting diversity and abundance of a critical pollinator species. Furthermore, the group emphasized the importance of communicating about the importance of bees as pollinators to the general public.
