Yes, urban flora. This study showed that bees depend on a lot of so-called wind pollinated species. (Nobody told the bees that the tree pollen isn't for them).

> In May, the most important resources included wind-pollinated trees like Salix , Acer , Quercus , Fraxinus , and Platanus , reinforcing Saunders’ (2018) call for increased attention to be given to wind-pollinated plants as resources. for pollinators. Later in the season, ornamental trees and shrubs like Lagerstroemia and Styphnolobium , along with adventitious shrubs and woody vines like Aralia , Parthenocissus , Clematis , and Hedera , account for the majority of pollen foraging.

* a few years back I tried to get people to realize that Fraxinus (ash) is being collected by bees. They all shouted: wind pollinated.
