The University Of Utah: The U Is 'Bee Campus USA'

Reply
July 8, 2021
The genesis of the idea was a conversation that took place in 2018 between the University of Utah Beekeepers' Association, a student-led organization founded in 2012, and the U's Office of Sustainability. By then, several efforts had already been spearheaded by the Beekeepers' Association, both on and off campus, to raise awareness about bees and pollinator conservation.

In 2012 and 2013, the Beekeepers' Association installed honey bee hives in several campus locations, and have used these hives as a gateway to talk broadly about the importance of all types of bees to the community on and off campus. We have worked for the last eight years to provide regular opportunities for bee conservation-centered education and outreach including bringing guest lecturers to campus, hosting visiting groups for bee talks and hive tours, carrying out solitary bee nest box-building events, and visiting elementary school classrooms and museums to talk about bee biodiversity and pollination. We also partner with a local nonprofit organization, The Hollow Tree Honey Foundation, to host pollinator awareness events for the broader public throughout Salt Lake City and beyond.
