A pair of Detroit natives have decided to combat neighborhood blight in a pretty sweet way — by transforming abandoned vacant lots in their city into honeybee farms.
Detroit Hives, a nonprofit organization founded by Timothy Paule and Nicole Lindsey in 2017, purchases vacant properties and remodels them into fully functioning bee farms.
“These properties are left abandoned and serve as a dumping ground in most cases,”. “The area can be a breeding ground for environmental hazards, which creates a stigma around the city.”
