Urban environments like Decatur provide critical habitat for pollinators. In 2019, Bee City USA - Decatur, GA (affectionately known as “Beecatur”) spearheaded a number of new programs and events designed to educate city residents about the importance of bees and other beneficial insect species, and to demonstrate how Decaturites can play an active role in protecting them. ​
