# The City of Tshwane Council has approved the reviewed by-law, which seeks to regulate the keeping of bees in urban areas. Bees are important to food security, as bees pollinate most of the edible plants, fruits, and vegetables in gardens, as well as ornamental plants. Mayoral committee member for Environment and Agriculture Management, Obakeng Ramabodu, says the by-law is necessary to strike a balance between the keeping of bees in urban areas and the health and safety of residents.
