The Secret Life of Apiarists
by Elaine Klaassen

Imagine an agrarian urban paradise where people live in multiple-unit,
solar-powered dwellings surrounded by a few earth-friendly industries,
strategically routed public transport vehicles, foot paths, biking trails,
groves of fruit trees, and masses of pumpkin patches, grains and leafy
greens. People keep chickens, a few goats, the occasional cow and, yes,
honeybees.

In the past 15 years, the American bee population has dropped significantly
...  Serious apiarists working within our city would contribute to the
renewal of the honeybee population. And, of course, their efforts would
boost urban agriculture.
