In discussing methods of apiculture, one must consider both rural and urban settings. Urban beekeeping, a growing trend in cities, uses methods of apiculture that are adapted to smaller spaces and closer proximity to human habitation. This includes rooftop hives and balcony beekeeping. Conversely, rural methods of apiculture often involve larger apiaries and a focus on pollination for agricultural crops. Both urban and rural methods of apiculture contribute significantly to biodiversity and the pollination of plants. Moreover, these methods of apiculture are essential for the production of honey, beeswax, and other bee-related products.
