Most of the time when we think of urban farming, we tend to think of green vegetables and fruit trees. But actually many urban farmers are looking at keeping chickens, fish, goats, turkeys and bees. Smaller farm animals are better suited to the small spaces available in the city compared to, let's say, a cow or horse. Keeping bees and chickens are exceeding popular in the US, even in New York and Chicago!
Take a look at this example from another large city in Asia. With the decline of global bee populations, raising bees in the city may be a good way to pollinate those urban farms and gardens while ensuring better security for bees and producing local honey.
