Turn Public Landscapes into Wild Bee Habitats

Across the country, botanical gardens, museums, public parks, corporate campuses, and municipal landscapes are transforming their outdoor areas into living demonstrations of native bee conservation. Crown Bees’ Wild Bee Program makes it simple to install safe, research-backed habitat, educate visitors with signage and QR-linked resources, and support local biodiversity through hands-on seasonal activities.

Why Bring Wild Bees to Public Spaces?

Crown Bees Villa Bee House at Bethpage State Park

Public landscapes are powerful teaching environments. Whether you manage a botanical garden, arboretum, city garden, museum grounds, corporate campus, or government building landscape, you help visitors understand the essential role of wild bees in healthy ecosystems.

Solitary, cavity-nesting bees are gentle, non-aggressive, and safe around families, school groups, and community visitors. When paired with clear signage or QR-linked digital education, a bee house becomes a living exhibit that encourages curiosity, ecological awareness, and action at home.

Since 2008, Crown Bees has championed research-based bee care. Our Wild Bee Program equips public spaces with the tools, materials, and guidance needed to create healthy habitat, run seasonal activities, and share accurate, accessible information.

For landscapes ready to expand even further, explore our Guide to Rewilding to learn how native plants, microhabitats, and community participation support thriving ecosystems.
