The InterContinental New York Barclay Hotel has been buzzing since the launch of its comic series, Barclay The Bee. A collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Design Strategies at the Pratt Institute, the comic raises awareness about the significance of honeybees—which keep the city’s ecosystem in check, but have been dying at a troubling rate. Beautifully illustrated with a smart storyline, Barclay The Bee is printed locally using recycled paper, non-toxic inks, and renewable wind-powered energy—plus, it’s inspired by the hotel’s own rooftop honeybees. Free downloads are available online and the print edition can be found at the hotel for a $5 donation to the Honeybee Conservancy. blog.intercontinentalnybarclay.com
