Bees in the D

Pollinator populations have collapsed by as much as 93% since 1998. Last year alone, America lost 62% of its bees.

Pollinators support the food we eat, the plants that sustain wildlife, and the ecosystems our communities depend on. When they disappear, the consequences reach all of us.

Bees in the D® is fighting this crisis here in Metro Detroit. We have introduced roughly 12 million honey bees, created a Bee Highway connecting habitat for native pollinators, and bring pollinator education directly into local schools. We have installed over 225 hives at 70+ locations throughout Metro-Detroit.

Your donation helps us protect honey bee colonies, create critical pollinator habitat, and teach the next generation why pollinators matter and how to save them.
