The London Bee Situation: How Sustainable Is Beekeeping in London?
Investigating the relationship between urban beekeeping, pollinator forage quality and wild bee populations.
For more than 10 years London has seen an unprecedented rise in beekeeping across the city’s urban landscape. This talk will look at how sustainable beekeeping is in London and how it can impact other pollinators. In recent years well-meaning intentions have led to unsustainable actions.
Mark Patterson is an ecologist and beekeeper in London and an active recorder of wild bees. Through his consultancy Apicultural he works with local authorities, London business and community organisations to help the capital’s pollinators.
