university students through collaboration of high school and university, 3) Social deployment
of expertise for urban-beekeeping, 4) Regional revitalization based on local airports, 5) Social
deployment of new research funding methods.

1)Locally-based urban-beekeeping is effective for building industry-academia-government
collaboration.
2) Collaboration of high school and university brought educational benefits through experiential
learning on product development for high school and university students.
3) Regional revitalization by urban-beekeeping achieved community-building effects such as joint
Instagram management of multiple sectors.
