Celebrating is easy bee-sy with our Partner, Choice Hotels International! We are buzzin' to share the magic of the bees with employees, and introduce them all the important lessons our fuzzy flying friends have to offer!
This #NationalHoneybeeDay, we’re proud to be partners of Bee Downtown, an organization that installs and maintains beehives on corporate campuses like ours. Our corporate bees pollinate a three-mile radius around their hives, positively impacting 18,000 acres of surrounding land in our North Bethesda, MD community—plus, they live in some pretty impressive bee hotels.

Hurricane season is upon us 🌀! Thanks to our hurricane protocols and our incredible beekeepers, all of our Bee Downtown Partner hives are withstanding Tropical Storm Debby's heavy rains. The ratchet strap method allows our beehives to remain as one unit in the instance that substantial winds blow them over. Our double stand method provides an extra 13 inches above the ground to avoid water entering the entrance of the hives. Thank you to our Partners Cousins Properties, Parmenter Realty Partners, MetLife, Highwoods Properties, Transwestern, Banyan Street Capital, Parkway, MONIN Americas, Truist, Lantmännen Unibake, and Accenture for trusting us to preserve the safety and success of your honeybees! #urbanbeekeeping #urbanagriculture #esg #sustainableagriculture #sustainability #csr

It's honey harvesting season at Bee Downtown! From each of our 140 Corporate Partners up and down the east coast, the honey frames are brought to our North Carolina Certified Honey House to be extracted and bottled. All of our Partners will receive the honey specifically from their campus hives! Some companies gift the honey jars to employees and visitors, some sell their honey and donate the proceeds, and others donate directly to the source! 🐝 Did you know, in her lifetime, one honeybee will make 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey? A single colony can make over 100 pounds in just a few months. Give a shoutout to your worker bee teammates who help you accomplish your company goals! We've highlighted many of ours bee-low!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Leigh-Kathryn Bonner, Founder & CEO of Bee Downtown. Talk about a masterful story teller! Leigh-Kathryn shared her inspiring entrepreneur journey and what's led her start up company to become a multimillion dollar organization in just a few years, how she leads with "courageous conversations," and the importance of mentors in her life who hold her accountable. Leigh-Kathryn, who still describes herself as a "young leader," was named Southern Living Southerner of the Year, Inc 30 Under 30 Rising Star, Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur, an Outstanding Young Alumni of North Carolina State University, North Carolina Woman of the Year, and most recently named to the TBJ 40 under 40 list. Her wisdom, knowledge and leadership continues to shine through in all that she does. It was an absolute joy to learn from her! 📷 Tate Heisler
