Energy company hosts giveaway to help KS pollinators

TOPEKA (KSNT) - An energy company is planning a giveaway for nature enthusiasts to do their part in helping the environment.

According to a social media post from Evergy, the companies Green Team is hosting a bee hotel Giveaway. This event is a way to protect these small, but necessary pollinators. Evergy said these habitats are critical, as they create a protective space for native bee species in Kansas and create safe places for these bee colonies to grow. Three bee hotel's will be up for grabs.

What’s Inside: Each bee hotel is lovingly crafted by Evergy Green Team volunteers. We’ve used non-toxic wood from recycled power poles to build these cozy abodes. The small tunnels inside mimic traditional bee habitats, providing a safe space for our buzzing friends.
