Bees in the D's Detroit Hives

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! Honey bees live in hives (or colonies). The members of the hive are divided into three types: Queen: One queen runs the whole hive. Her job is to lay the eggs that will spawn the hive’s next generation of bees. The queen also produces chemicals that guide the behaviour of the other bees.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

Today is #presidentsday. Washington's Birthday officially honors the life and work of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Today we want to honor the life and work of all #QueenBees who support the #honeybee colony. The queen can live up to five years. She is busiest in the summer months, when she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day! ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #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! What are these buzzing bugs most famous for? Delicious honey! But did you know they produce honey as food stores for the hive during winter? Luckily for us, these efficient little workers produce 2-3 time more honey than they need, so we get to enjoy the tasty treat too!⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

We are thrilled to announce we will be working with Detroit Public Schools to not only educate about the importance of #pollinators but to also initiate #STEAM (#Science, #Technology, #Engineering, #Arts and #Math) projects that support the Michigan Science Standards. Martin Luther King Jr High School will be the pilot school by installing 2 hives. A special thank you to @dominos for helping with the funding. What an amazing #collaboration!! #beesinthed #dps #honeybees #savethebees #education #conservation

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY!⠀ Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect
