Commerce Courts issued the following announcement on.
Commerce Court is pleased to welcome two bee hives to its north tower for the next three years, as part of our commitment to a sustainability. As part of our sustainable site program, we do not use any pesticides that can harm birds, butterflies and bees.
We have partnered with Alveole to install two bee hives helping enhance the honey bee population in Toronto.
DID YOU KNOW?
The honey bee population worldwide and in Canada has suffered significant losses due to several stressors such as pesticides, monoculture (lack of food variety), and climate change. Since one third of our food supply is reliant on the work of pollinators, it is imperative that action is taken to help reverse population loss among honey bees.
