Are cities a refuge for bees?

Is it possible that Europe’s urban-dwellers now have a particular responsibility for bees and other pollinating insects?

The decline of honeybees has been much covered in the media, but destruction of flower-rich habitat, use of potentially harmful pesticides and large areas of single crops with limited food and shelter are issues that affect all of Europe’s 2000 bee species. As wild bees account for an estimated two thirds of crop pollination the declines witnessed in wild bees should be of great concern.
