Tech Times reported on new research from UBC which found that honey from urban bees reflect the levels of pollution in the environment.
Dominique Weis, senior author of the study and a professor at UBC’s department of earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences, explained that trees in Stanley Park and honey from the same area had a similar composition of lead found in Asian cities. This is likely due to the number of cargo ships that enter the Port of Vancouver.
