Honey Bees & Herb Garden

In June 2010, Fairmont San Francisco, in partnership with Marshall’s Farm, installed honey beehives in the hotel’s culinary and rooftop gardens in order to help support the world-wide dwindling bee population, which has decreased in number by 90 percent since the 1980s. Beekeepers established nine nascent beehives, each containing approximately 20,000 bees, in the garden which is located outside on the hotel’s lobby level.
