問題詳情：

We think of bees preferring to live in rural new research suggests Britain’s bees are happier near towns and cities and that is pretty out of our expectations.

A study of wildlife sites has found that most farmland is home to fewer species of bee today than it was in the instance,heaths and meadows（荒地牧場）near Milton Keynes now have more species of bee than sites in more rural archers believe intensive agriculture is to blame.

Another question --- is climate change confusing bees?Climate change could be causing disorder in the relationship between bees and ’s according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees,which can throw them out of sync（同步）with the plants they pollinate（授粉）e the gardens,parks and churchyards of town and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to feed on and an extended flowering season,popular crops such as oilseed rape only flower for a few weeks.

A researcher said, “While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature,we’ve found that progressive urbanization may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture. ”

Urban ares may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants,providing a rich menu for insects from spring to autumn.

Over the past century rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large expanses of monoculture --- the growing of a single type of plant,which has helped improve crop without a mixture of habitat and food sources,rural areas can sometimes become green deserts for bees.
