Urban beekeepers in Detroit have registered more than four hundred hives, most of them on vacant lots. [The city's long season of flowering weeds—chicory, sweet clover, knapweed—gives these hives a nectar supply that rivals what rural farmland offers.] Honey harvested downtown now routinely places in regional taste competitions.
If the writer were to delete the bracketed sentence, the paragraph would primarily lose:
- Evidence backing the final sentence's claim about regional taste competitions.
- A proposal urging Detroit beekeepers to register additional hives on vacant lots.
- A definition of the term "vacant lot" for readers who are unfamiliar with it.
- An explanation of why hives on the city's vacant lots have such abundant forage.
