There was a very brief blurb on the radio at 6:30am that I heard and a longer blurb at 7:30am that Sheila heard. So great coverage already for the Wild for Bees project!</div>

>>> To clarify, Fairmont Royal York currently have honey bees on their rooftop. Burt's Bees partnered with Fairmont, Sustainable TO and Pollinator Partnership to create bee hotels for pollinator bees which do the majority of the pollinating. This hotel will be in addition to their current honey bee hives. We have also partnered with Toronto Botanical Gardens, Black Creek Farms, Kortright Centre and the City of Guelph and will be placing hotels in those locations this month. This is a program that we plan to expand nationally next year. I have attached the release.<br>
