MAKING DETROIT THE BEST IT CAN BEE
Bees in the D is a trusted group of educators focused on pollinators, specifically honeybees, and provides a model for beekeeping nationally.

Our nonprofit provides honeybee hives and beekeeping training for schools, businesses, and local municipalities.

On top of the bee hives we have placed throughout the city, we are also placing bee hotels throughout Metro-Detroit.
EXPLORING 'NO MOW MAY'
No Mow May is an initiative started in the UK by Plantlife and has since gained momentum worldwide. The concept is simple - refrain from mowing your lawn throughout the month of May. This allows native wildflowers and other plants to grow and provide a vital food source for our pollinators, such as bees.
You may be wondering if No Mow May is worthwhile. To address this question, we have built a dedicated webpage to explore this topic.
