Bee City USA’s mission is to galvanize communities to sustain pollinators by providing them with healthy habitat, rich in a variety of native plants and free of insecticides.

Pollinators like bumble bees, sweat bees, mason bees, honey bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, hummingbirds, and many others are responsible for the reproduction of almost ninety percent of the world's flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we consume.

Mayor Robin LeJeune said, “Through education and awareness, the Daphne City Council and I understand the importance of sustaining pollinators, and want to make the city more pollinator friendly. We are grateful to the EAC for bringing this opportunity to our attention.” 

“We are thrilled that members of our committee and community shared our vision for the City of Daphne to join the Bee City USA movement,” said EAC Chairperson Cathy Barnette, who played a leading role in the campaign.
