Our research aims to explore and analyze the change in bee diversity in response to urban environments such as NYC. By analyzing this relationship, we can gain insights into the effects of urbanization on bee populations and the potential repercussions for our environment.
Our findings suggest that a reduction in human interaction with other organisms, even those that have evolved to live alongside humans, may allow those organisms to better thrive.
