wildspots
a wildspot, defined and created by us, is simply this
an urban plot where the natural ecosystem and biodiversity are encouraged and celebrated
everything the bee collective does is aimed at breaking down the barrier between people and the world.
wildspots not only provide the much needed habitats and food our pollinators need to survive, they also provide a space for humans to get a little weird and wonderful.
native bee boxes
in 2020 we started our wildspot initiative with the plan to build and home 20 native bee boxes in columbus’ first wildspots.
through indiegogo we connected with so many humans who wanted to support the bee collective in this journey
why do we do these things? because we can.
