About us

Connecting people to nature

We've been buzzing since 2013.

It all started when three childhood friends wanted to flip the conventional beekeeping model.

Instead of one person caring for hundreds of hives, why not bring hundreds of people together around one?

Today, we partner with commercial buildings in 70+ cities across North America and Europe.

We aim to empower the real estate industry to support urban biodiversity and turn nature-related risks into opportunities.

We believe that commercial real estate is uniquely positioned to make a positive impact on biodiversity. It’s our mission to unlock that potential.

Values

These values guide the work we do each and every day

We grow together

We allow ourselves to grow, and to grow together – with our team, our clients, our partners, and within ourselves.

We share our passion

Connecting people with nature is why we wake up every morning. We inspire, spark wonder, and open up a new perspective on the world around us.

We push boundaries

We’re change makers and trendsetters. We will always favor the audacity of taking action over asking for permission to try.

We choose optimism

We believe that changing the world is possible. We choose to be constructive, solution-focused, yet practical.

We aspire to do meaningful work

We aspire to make a positive difference in the world. We build bridges between humans, nature, and cities to inspire more connected urban ecosystems.
