Show answer
Answer
- C The city flora offers fewer monocultures
- D The warmer city climate extends the flight season
Explanation
Cities are on average two to three degrees warmer, so bees fly earlier in spring and longer in autumn. Instead of monocultures, parks, gardens and balconies offer a varied forage. No contamination of city honey by fine dust has been found so far. If too many colonies stand close together, the honey yield drops and the risk of infection rises.
