Wellesley Business Buzz: Bees & Cheese & more

May 9, 2019 by Deborah Brown

Our round-up of the latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

Bees behind Roche Bros.

Federal Realty, the property manager for Linden Square in Wellesley, has partnered with residential and commercial beekeeping company Best Bees to help out the struggling pollinator population.

If you happen to go behind Roche Bros., in Linden Square you’ll see the hives, which are home to vegan Italian honeybees. The Door No. 7 and Cottage restaurants in Linden Square reportedly will make good use of the honey on their menu.

Other Federal Realty properties in Somerville and New York are also hosting bee colonies.
