Bees need a certain amount of nearby green space in order to find enough pollen to survive. Without that, bees can starve. They can also end up subsisting on a diet of syrup that's about as healthy for them as a diet of burgers and fries would be for you and I.

Some people are now worried that New York City could be headed toward that problem. (Via Hannah Nordhaus)
