Thousands of honeybees call East Village home

A safe place for pollinators and hub for community collaboration.

Overview

East Village is literally buzzing with activity

Since 2019, summertime in East Village has been a little sweeter thanks to CMLC’s collaboration with local beekeepers.

The Hive’s open-topped plexiglass enclosure contains five beehives, accommodating pollinators and allowing passersby to see the bees in action and learn about their important role in the ecosystem. The Hive’s local honey is available for purchase through the EV Merch website.
