About

Have You Heard the Buzz About The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes?

Tenants Are Bringing Big Impact in Sustainability

WHAT:                       Meet
The Shoppes Bees/Beekeeper!

The
Shoppes at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove is proud to announce it has welcomed thousands
of tenants or honey bees to the property as part of a partnership with Alvéole. Through the installation of urban beekeeping at The
Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, shoppers, employees and the entire community are
exposed to ecological awareness and increased sustainability.

Currently The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes is home
to two hives which house approximately 5,000 to 50,000 honey bees each depending
on the time of year and productivity of the hives. The bees operate year-round, but will begin to venture
out of the hive when the temperatures are above 50-degrees and flowers start to
bloom. The hives were installed at The Shoppes last summer.

“We are very committed to environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) investing in this community,” says Michael Landstad, General Manager of The Shoppes. “We’re also
falling in love with the bees and look forward to events and opportunities
to introduce our beekeeper, hives, honey bees and products to the community so
others can come to learn and love this process as much as we do.”

Starting this spring and summer, shoppers
will start to see more of the colony and community as honey bees will move
anywhere from 3-5 miles outside their hive. The beekeeper for The Shoppes will
also make regular visits starting in April through October.
