Not sure if you’ve heard, but bees are dying at an alarming rate. You’ve probably seen the meme that’s been circulating for the past few years, but it’s also something that celebrities like Morgan Freeman, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Scarlett Johannson aren’t here to joke around about.
McDonald’s built a tiny restaurant for bees in Sweden, Haagen-Dazs gives away free ice cream once a year to raise awareness about the declining population of honeybees, and Morgan Freeman converted his 124-acre ranch into a bee haven. We should all be taking steps to ensure our bumbley friends stick around.
The Bees Needs
Morgan Freeman is doing everything possible to stop the honeybee population from complete extinction. Freeman took up beekeeping in 2014 in an effort to halt the mass bee die-off currently happening in the United States.
As he said in a 2016 interview with Larry King, “There’s been a frightening loss of bee colonies, particularly in this country.” In order to do his part, Freeman has converted his Mississippi ranch into a paradise for bee colonies.
