This Nonprofit Has A Sweet Plan For Reclaiming Vacant Detroit Lots

Detroit Hives, founded by Lindsay and Jackson, transforms vacant lots into bee farms, promoting urban beekeeping and revitalizing Detroit. Initially considering various options, Jackson's health issue led to discovering honey's benefits, sparking interest in beekeeping. Detroit's vacant lots, problematic for humans, are ideal for bees, supporting community gardens and urban farms. The organization aims to revitalize 45 lots, expand to 200 hives, and enhance food security. They also focus on educating children about conservation and sustainability, encouraging gardening and reducing chemical use, ultimately aiming to keep Detroit buzzing about its future.
