I recently noticed a fenced area with 3 thriving bee hives in
Piedmont Park. The hives were installed by
Bee Downtown and funded by
Invesco. I don't begrudge the founder of Bee Downtown, Leigh-Kathryn Bonner, for the success of this well funded nonprofit, but corporations purchasing ecological advertising (
greenwashing) leaves me skeptical.
Bee Downtown, a new nonprofit and partner organization of Abundance NC, focuses on creating healthy sustainable environments for honey bees, as well as creating a community that understands and supports their local bees and beekeepers.
