Bramalea City Centre is actively taking part in sustainable development. The installation of two beehives on the green roof of our property has made a huge inpact to the ecosystem and the bee community.
Urban beekeeping contributes to increasing local honey production, the pollination and provides a greener urban setting. Its mission is to protect the bees that have been in decline all over the world, while increasing the general population’s awareness about their essential role for the environment. The bee is a pollinator insect that plays a major role in the production of fruit, vegetables and nuts: one third of our food supply relies on their pollination!
Did you know?
- One beehive houses approximately 50,000 bees.
- Bees must visit 5 million flowers and travel the equivalent of 4 times around the earth to produce one single kilogram of honey.
