In the last decade, several European cities have placed beehives on the roofs of public buildings. Supporters say that city bees are healthier than their countryside relatives, because urban gardens offer flowers throughout the season, while farmland often has only one crop that blooms for a few weeks. However, some ecologists warn that the trend may do harm. A city has a limited number of flowers, and thousands of honeybees can take food away from wild bees, which cannot be moved elsewhere when food runs short.
Which statement best expresses the ecologists' concern according to the text?

The ecologists' concern appears after the word "However". They say a city has a limited number of flowers, and thousands of honeybees can take food away from wild bees, which cannot move elsewhere. So the idea is that too many rooftop hives may leave wild bees with too little food. "Honeybees in cities produce less honey than bees in the countryside" is not mentioned. "Wild bees cannot survive in cities because there are no flowers there" is too extreme, because the text says flowers are limited, not absent. "Hives on public buildings are more dangerous for people than farm hives" is not discussed at all.
