Support Bees In The D

Bees in the D (BITD), a nonprofit organization in downtown Detroit, is a cooperative effort between residents, schools, organizations and businesses of the metro Detroit area to contribute to the health of honey bee colonies and the education of their importance to our environment.

 They are raising funds to open a community pollinator center in Core City next summer at Tinyurl.com/DetroitBeeFundraiser. Until then, Bees in the D will continue to expose and educate community members on the importance pollinators play in our daily lives.

 Bee populations have declined precipitously in the last 50 years, especially in urban areas, due to habitat loss. BITD participates in a variety of partnerships from installing hives at the Detroit TFC Center to serving local restaurants and breweries. They work closely with schools and universities in the metro Detroit area to provide education on the importance of bees in the agricultural world.

 Location: 200 River Place Dr., Detroit. For more information, call 313-462-9624 or visit BeesInTheD.com.
