Building a thriving bee community in Tucker
Our MISSION
To have a thriving bee ecosystem that promotes and leverages our park land, and to provide educational elements and programs focused on the important role of pollinators in our environment - for the enjoyment and benefit of all citizens and visitors to the City of Tucker.
about the bee habitat
Honey bee populations in the United States are facing potential extinction, with over 50% of honey bee populations dying off in just the last 10 years. Bees pollinate over $15b in US crops each year, so their decline has alarming implications for human food supplies. The Bee Habitat is helping to alleviate this problem in the Tucker area by building and maintaining new honey bee habitats and educating the public about the importance of bees.
