ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
The mission of Bee City USA is to galvanize communities to sustain pollinators responsible for the 
reproduction of almost 90% of the world’s flowering plant species by providing them with a healthy 
habitat rich in a variety of native plants and free to nearly free of pesticides. The City of Smyrna, in 
partnership with Keep Smyrna Beautiful, actively establishes pollinator gardens in public green 
spaces, incorporating native plantings that provide essential habitat and food sources for bees, 
butterflies, birds, and other beneficial insects, and demonstrates a shared community commitment to 
pollinator-friendly practices and environmental stewardship.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION:
Environmental Services recommends the approval of a resolution to designate the City of Smyrna, 
Georgia a Bee City USA affiliate and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute all related documents.
