The Pollinator Port Project

Creating Habitats for At-Risk Native Bees


In partnership with Rutgers University and the NYC Department of Transportation, The Hort is embarking on a project to design and install bee habitats in public plazas and Open Streets throughout New York City.


By installing special habitats, Bee Bunkers and Bee Hotels, and planting native flowers in public spaces throughout the city, we will bridge the gaps between green spaces and promote native bee populations.

Bee Hotels are for reed nesting
