Video: Bees thrive on the rooftop of a Vancouver hotel

I produced this video and article after a I attended a TMAC BC Chapter summer event at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel.

The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel‘s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility is very impressive. Their efforts towards Vancouver’s “Greenest City” mission and the work they do to give back to the community and members of the DTES are to be commended.

The hotel uses 200 pounds of honey produced by its rooftop bees and an additional 400 pounds gathered through Hives for Humanity for many items served onsite. We met chief beekeeper Julia Common who helps watch over the hives. She talked about her passion for bees.
