AgroParistech on the stand, I had a conference on this subject see the point of this urban agriculture for biodiversity monitoring in effect. Documenting, I had spotted excellent pictures on American achievements including the Brooklyn Grange in New York that the speaker had mentioned.

We already knew the bee hives Opera, whose honey is said to be (I have not tasted) stainless steel chafing dishes excellent. These gardens on the roof, which could represent Paris and its suburbs several hundred hectares, would be a blessing not only for residents or small farmers, but also for many apiaries honeybees and other pollinating insects: thrips , wasps, flies, beetles, moths and other .... I obviously do not forget the many species of wild bees that can be found in urban areas. The European Urbanbees program ends, besides studying the conditions for development in the city of these wild bees
