In tune with the @naiasdetroit, we want to express our gratitude for our partners @FCAFiatChryslerAutomobiles, who have contributed to our mission to conserve the #honeybee by sponsoring 4 hives in 2 locations! There are 2 Hives at the Dundee Engine plant and 2 hives at their Mack Avenue Engine Plant. The bee’s benefit from the flowering trees and the wild flowers in the areas around both facilities.

In tune with the @naiasdetroit , we are thrilled to announce that Bees In The D will be installing 2 #honeybee hives at @ford Michigan Assembly Plant. This is in conjunction with the release of the new #Ford @usa_ford_ranger pickup truck, as part of a number of #sustainability efforts associated with the launch. We’ll be engaged with educating Ford employees and training employees in #beekeeping efforts, as well as engaging the community in Ford's global bee Initiative. Last June, Ford launched a global beekeeping program in support of honeybee populations, the local ecosystem, and gardening and farming communities. "Sustainability is more than improving fuel economy and reducing waste," said Kim Pittel, Ford's vice president of sustainability, environment and safety engineering, in a statement. "It's about improving the environment we live in for all, and that includes honeybees, pollinators and the ecosystems that depend on them." - - - - - #FordBees #BeesintheD #Education #Conservation #pollinators #Ecosystems #Ranger #FordRanger #BuiltFordTough #GlobalBeekeeping #UrbanBeekeeping #SaveTheBees #NAIAS #Cobocenter #UrbanGardening #UrbanFarming #Bees #bee Cormac Wright Brian Peterson-Roest https://www.ford.com/trucks/ranger/

Education and conservation are at the foundation of our organization. We are excited to announce we will be partnering with Dr Reid and Dr. Daisley with Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute to study the microbiology of bees in select Bees in the D hives in Detroit. We will work with beneficial bacteria to improve the health of Honey Bees through protecting them against infectious diseases and pesticide toxicity. @westernuniversity #beesinthed #research #beehealth #conservation #education #detroit #urbanbeekeeping #savethebees

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! ⠀ Bees use the sun as a compass. But when it’s cloudy, there’s a backup—they navigate by polarized light, using special photoreceptors to find the sun's place in the sky. The Vikings may have used a similar system: On sunny days, they navigated with sundials, but on cloudy days, sunstones—chunks of calcite that act like a Polaroid filter—helped them stay on course. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! ⠀ While caffeine makes bees work better, cocaine turns them into big fat liars. Bees “dance” to communicate—a way of giving fellow bees directions to good food. But high honeybees exaggerate their moves and overemphasize the food’s quality. They even exhibit withdrawal symptoms, helping scientists understand the nuances of addiction. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY!⠀ Nature didn’t intend caffeine to be trapped inside an orange mocha frappucino. It’s actually a plant defense chemical that shoos harmful insects away and lures pollinators in. Scientists at Newcastle University found that nectar laced with caffeine helps bees remember where the flower is, increasing the chances of a return visit.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect
