Buzzin with corporate sustainability

This Earth Day, Bandwidth reflects on its 5-year partnership with Bee Downtown to promote urban agriculture in the local community. The collaboration began when Leigh-Kathryn Bonner, founder and CEO of Bee Downtown, asked her company to host a beehive in downtown Durham. Since then, Bee Downtown has grown from 50 beehives to almost 500 across the southwest, with Bandwidth being one of its corporate partners. The partnership includes hive tours, honey tastings, and personalized events with the bees for employees and interns. Through this collaboration, Bandwidth has offered beekeeping lessons, lunch-and-learn opportunities at the apiary, and invested countless hours in sustainable living. As Bandwidth grows, it plans to increase its partnership with Bee Downtown by installing more beehives and offering more programs to educate the community on local pollination efforts.
