Morgan Freeman Converts Mississippi Ranch into Bee Sanctuary to Support Pollinators
Morgan Freeman transformed his 124-acre Mississippi ranch into a bee sanctuary starting in 2014, motivated by concerns over declining bee populations. He maintains about two dozen hives without harvesting honey, focusing on creating a natural habitat with pollinator-friendly plants like lavender and clover. Freeman advocates for simple conservation efforts, encouraging homeowners to plant native flowers to support pollinators. His initiative highlights the ecological importance of bees and aims to raise awareness about their role in sustaining healthy ecosystems.
