Read the text and choose the statement that is true according to it.
In recent years, several European cities have allowed residents to keep bees on rooftops. Supporters say that city bees often produce more honey than those in the countryside, because parks and gardens offer flowers throughout the season, while farmland may have just one crop blooming for a few weeks. However, experts warn that too many hives can be harmful: wild pollinators then have less food, and some of them may disappear. For this reason, some councils now limit the number of hives per district.

The text says parks and gardens offer flowers throughout the season, while farmland may have only one crop blooming for a few weeks. So "Parks and gardens can give bees food for longer than farmland." is true. The statement about farmland having more varied flowers is the opposite of the text. Too many hives leave wild pollinators with less food, so the statement that rooftop hives help them is wrong. Some councils only limit the number of hives, they do not ban them, so the statement about a complete ban is also wrong.
