Urban expansion is considered to be one of the main threats to global biodiversity yet some pollinator groups, particularly bees, can do well in urban areas. Recent studies indicate that both local and landscape-level drivers can influence urban pollinator communities, with local floral resources and the amount of impervious cover in the landscape affecting pollinator abundance, richness and community composition. Urban intensification, chemicals, climate change and increased honey bee colony densities all negatively affect urban pollinators. Maintaining good areas of habitat for pollinators, such as those found in allotments (community gardens) and domestic gardens, and improving management approaches in urban greenspace and highly urbanised areas (e.g. by increasing floral resources and nesting sites) will benefit pollinator conservation. Opportunities for pollinator conservation exist via multiple stakeholders including policymakers, urban residents, urban planners and landscape architects.

城市扩张被认为是对全球生物多样性的主要威胁之一，但某些授粉媒介群体，尤其是蜜蜂，在城市地区的发展可做得很好。最近的研究表明，当地和景观一级的驱动因素都可以影响城市授粉媒介的群落，当地的花卉资源和景观中不透水的覆盖量会影响授粉媒介的丰富度，丰富度和群落组成。城市集约化，化学物质，气候变化和蜂群密度的增加都对城市授粉媒介产生不利影响。维持传粉媒介的良好栖息地，例如在配给区（社区花园）和家庭花园中发现的传粉媒介，以及改善城市绿地和高度城市化地区的管理方法（例如通过增加花卉资源和筑巢地），将有利于传粉媒介的保护。
