A New York Cemetery Hosts One of the Largest Bee Colonies for Over a Century

30 Mayıs 2026Wired

Researchers from Cornell University have uncovered an astonishing underground colony of bees in a New York cemetery, boasting an estimated population of 5.5 million. This discovery marks one of the largest bee colonies ever recorded.
The finding highlights the resilience of bee populations in urban environments and their ability to thrive in unexpected places.
Bees play a crucial role in pollination, which is essential for many crops and wild plants. As urbanization continues to threaten natural habitats, understanding how bees can survive and thrive in cities is increasingly important for ecological health.
The discovery of such a large bee colony in an urban cemetery raises important questions about biodiversity and the adaptability of bee species. It suggests that even in heavily developed areas, there are niches where wildlife can flourish.
