 BeeDowntown installs and maintains beehives on corporate campuses to help rebuild healthy honeybee populations every year The United States loses about 30% of its honeybee populations. We're losing habitat for the bees and pollinators. There's pesticides There's a monoculture crops Georgia Power was one of the very first companies to come on and to be part of this and say we're committed to sustainability We're committed to the environment You can see the excitement every morning I walk through the lobby just to see how many people watch the bees I think the real important thing about this project is that we really want employees to think about nature and think about the importance of Honeybees you think about your food source One third of the food that you consume on a daily basis is there because of a honeybee From the moment the beehives arrived at Georgia Power They started positively impacting over 18,000 acres of the surrounding community Georgia Power's participation is amazing these large Corporations they know how to make your average return on investment However making an environmental return on your community is something that's still pretty new and to see Georgia Power leading the way and that is very inspiring and encouraging
