IG of the Week: Making a buzz in Downtown! ๐ We love this shot of @davidnackashiโs beehive mural on the top of the FIS parking garage.
This painted space will become home to several beehives and is a great example of how the Downtown community can contribute to the revival of bees.
The census now shows that the number of bee colonies in America is at an all-time high, with Florida ranking fourth among states with honey-producing colonies!
