Two queen bees promoting honeybees and urban beekeeping in Detroit.

 

We are here to educate on the importance of polLinators and the conservation of the honeybee while building a network of urban honeybee hives throughout Detroit, southeast Michigan, and internationally in Canada.

 

 

bee part of the solution

You or your business can help the declining population of honeybees by making a donation, sponsoring, or hosting a honeybee hive in Detroit.

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! Once enough bees have regurgitated to produce the desired quality, it still contains too much water to resist fermentation. Then the bees store it in open honeycomb cells. They collectively fan air through the hive, evaporating more moisture until the honey is concentrated enough for storage. Then the cell may be capped.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! Bees make honey by partially digesting and regurgitating nectar. They do this multiple times. It is a group activity!
