The world’s leading companies follow the bees
Bee Downtown installs and maintains beehives on corporate campuses while simultaneously providing year-round employee engagement and leadership development programming to America’s leading corporations.
When hives are installed on a corporate campus, employees become instantly curious.
To satisfy that curiosity, Bee Downtown offers year-round programming for employees to learn from and experience the hives. From Beekeeping Classes (earn your MBeeA!), to Hive Tours, to Honey Tastings, to the Annual Honey Extraction Festival, these shared experiences draw employees closer to each other and their employer.
