Communities Are Declaring Themselves Bee City USA

21 October 2014

The city of Carrboro in North Carolina is becoming an official Bee City USA, the third of its kind in the country, after Asheville, also in North Carolina, and Talent in Oregon.

Alongside the city’s existing pollinator protection efforts, the Bee City USA plan—which was unanimously approved by the town’s Board of Aldermen—will include promoting the use of native and sustainably grown plants to local residents, raising awareness about sustainable farming practices, and prominently displaying Bee City USA signage on entrances to the town.
