Synopsis
Detroit Native, Nicole Lindsey is the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director for Detroit Hives, a 501c3 nonprofit working to create sustainable communities for people and pollinators by transforming vacant lots into pollinator-friendly spaces. In just under four years, Nicole educated thousands of Detroit-area youth on the importance of bee conservation through their, Bee The Change, program. They work with local Girl Scout troops to provide conservation projects for scouts to earn bee badges and founded National Urban Beekeeping Day. With the help of the Detroit City council, Detroit is recognized as a Bee City and started by transforming six blighted vacant lots into green outdoor learning spaces for people and pollinators. Nicole is active within her community as she is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., sits on the board with Keep Michigan Beautiful, a member of the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association, the Michigan Beekeepers Association, and the American Beekeeping Federation.
