Atlanta corporations bank on beekeeping begetting better business
There’s an increasing buzz around some of metro Atlanta’s largest corporate campuses.
Chick-fil-A, Delta, Marvel movie site Pinewood Studios, Georgia Power and AT&T all acquired bee boxes from Bee Downtown, a North Carolina-based sustainability and leadership development business. The sustainability component comes from the worsening problem of bee colony loss; a 2016 study funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that 44 percent of American beekeepers lost their colonies.
