ScottsMiracle-Gro Partners with Central Ohio Beekeepers Association to Establish Apiary at Corporate Headquarters
2024年4月23日 - 1:46AM
The Central Ohio Beekeepers Association (COBA) has partnered with
ScottsMiracle-Gro brand Ortho®, to establish an apiary, also known
as a bee yard, at the Company’s corporate headquarters in
Marysville, Ohio. COBA is dedicated to promoting bees and
beekeeping in Central Ohio by providing educational opportunities
for new beekeepers and continuing education for advanced
beekeepers.
In 2016, Ortho® announced its decision to remove neonics from
its outdoor products after evaluating risks to honeybees and other
pollinators. Today, none of Ortho’s outdoor garden care products
include neonics. “We recognize that consumers want to protect their
homes while also respecting the natural habitat and pollinators,”
said Jodi Lee, vice president, brand marketing for gardens and
controls at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. “We’re delighted to
partner with COBA and build awareness of pollinators in our
community, in our own backyard.”
“We see this as a great way for the two organizations to work
together and help educate beekeepers and the Union County community
about the importance of honeybees for our ecosystem and food
supply,” said Rich Colvin of COBA. The new apiary will serve as a
fourth location for COBA and emphasize advanced teaching about
5-frame hives and helping bees throughout the winter.
