Bees in the D

Bees in the D is a trusted nonprofit organization based in Detroit, MI, dedicated to educating and advocating for pollinators, particularly honeybees. Through their nationally recognized urban beekeeping model, they provide honeybee hives and beekeeping training to schools, businesses, and local municipalities, while increasing knowledge and awareness about the importance of pollinators. With the support of their donors, Bees in the D has made a significant impact in areas such as K-12 pollinator education, research partnerships with Detroit universities, and local community beautification programs.

With over 225 hives at 75 locations, Bees in the D has introduced more than 11 million bees to the city, and their efforts extend beyond beekeeping. They are actively involved in initiatives like "No Mow May," which encourages refraining from mowing lawns in May to allow native wildflowers and plants to flourish and provide essential food sources for pollinators. By engaging guests with live in-hive tours and revitalizing vacant lots through the Michigan Pollinator Center and Botanical Gardens, Bees in the D is committed to creating a positive impact on the environment and inspiring the next generation.
