ENGLEWOOD — Sometimes at practice, a few honeybees will buzz around the Denver Broncos‘ Gatorade bottles.
That wasn’t always the case. But when the team more than doubled the landscape at its headquarters, Brooks Dodson, the club’s director of sports turf and grounds, noticed something: Flowers weren’t growing.
It was time to draft a swarm of new players.
“I just noticed there wasn’t a lot of bees on our property,” Dodson said.
A friend in the same line of work in a Denver suburb mentioned that he had met a couple of beekeepers.
