MO Hives KC is a non-profit organization based in Kansas City, MO, that transforms vacant urban lots into thriving bee farms, promoting both the well-being of honeybees and the revitalization of communities. Through experiential learning opportunities, MO Hives educates the public about the importance of pollinators in food production and works towards creating safe and sustainable environments for bees to thrive.
By establishing a low-cost, long-term lease arrangement with Community Builders KC, MO Hives has successfully repurposed six vacant lots on Wabash Avenue into an apiary site. These lots, previously subjected to illegal dumping, now serve as a habitat for honeybees, with rainwater collected from the roof of the Blue Hills Community Center being reused for garden beds and beekeeping activities.
