Head of the city beekeeper organization, Felix Munk, adjusts his protective net hat as he stands next to bee hives at the rooftop of the Austrian chancellery in Vienna, July 16, 2012. A growing number of urban beekeepers' associations, such as Vienna's Stadtimker, are trying to encourage bees to make their homes in cities, as pesticides and crop monocultures make the countryside increasingly hostile. Bee populations are in sharp decline around the world, under attack from a poorly understood phenomonenon known as colony collapse disorder, whose main causes are believed to include a virus spread by mites that feed on haemolymph - bees' "blood".
