Pollinator-friendly solar arrays—building the ingredients
So how does it all work? Beekeepers partner with solar developers, and with companies who purchase solar energy, to place and tend to beehives at pollinator-friendly solar sites. Honey bees naturally forage for pollen and nectar within three miles of the hive. Honey produced on or adjacent to pollinator-friendly solar arrays is then extracted and bottled separately from other honey, where it’s used to add a subtle sweetness to the flavor profiles of specialty craft beers, like Solarama Crush.
