Detroit Hives converts vacant lots in the Detroit area into spaces for urban bee חקלאות. These gardens provide fruits and vegetables to the community, כמו גם as a location for bees to cross-pollinate. What are some additional benefits of the emergence of this type of non-profit organization?
Additional benefits include using our platform to educate inner city youth on the importance of bee conservation. We provide tours to give the community an opportunity to explore an urban hive and see the inner workings of a bee colony. לבסוף, through the process of transforming vacant lots into green spaces, we are able to increase the quality of life for residents by addressing the issues around blight, crime and violence within vacant spaces.
Those who work at Detroit Hives are very passionate about educating youth in the local school districts by exposing them to wildlife that they may not be familiar with. What do students gain from learning about science from someone who does hands-on conservation work?
Students can gain a new perspective on science and how it can impact their daily lives. They view it as something that’s tangible and would be a practical solution in the real world.
Detroit Hives says that it is challenging stereotypes of what it looks like to conduct beekeeping in America. Why is it important to encourage and promote diversity in all professions?
In order to create a sustainable environment, it’s important that we support biodiversity. Every living thing plays its part to contribute to the ecosystem. This very same theory needs to be applied in all professions. This gives everyone a chance to thrive, flourish, contribute and collectively work together to achieve a higher goal.
What do you believe are the most important takeaways for audiences from your film? איך היית רוצה לראות את הסרט הזה עושה את ההבדל?
You can inspire the world by making one small change. Whether it’s cleaning up a park, מִחזוּר, or even planting flowers to attract more pollinators. You can Bee The Change. Through this film I would love to see others inspired to take on challenges within their own communities, along with learning how pollinators can play a huge part in creating sustainable communities.
Thanks guys.
