Since 2019, the Montreal Canadiens have proudly hosted a beehive on the Bell Centre roof each year, helping support pollinator populations and biodiversity in Greater Montreal. In addition to having a positive impact on the environment and society, this initiative actively contributes to creating a more sustainable city and food systems.
Key Achievements:
- Bee hotels have been installed in the Rio Tinto courtyard to provide habitat for solitary bees, promoting the presence of pollinators in the urban environment.
- Workshops are offered to employees to better understand the role of bees and the honey extraction process, promoting knowledge of local biodiversity.
- Available spaces around the Bell Centre have been greened, helping create more welcoming environments for local flora and fauna.
Did you know that each bee in our hive is a foraging champion? With 37,500 workers, they’ve explored 65,000 km² — more than 8,500 Bell Centre ice rinks — to support urban biodiversity. Encourage them by keeping spaces clean during your visit!
