  As a collaboration between McDonald's and NORD DDB, a Nordic creative agency, the McHive was created to pay homage and draw attention to the several McDonald's restaurants in Sweden that have put beehives on their roofs and wildflowers in their green spaces in an effort to save the bees. Honey bees have been dying at an alarming rate in recent years—one in four bees species in the US are at risk of extinction, according to the Earth Day Network, and worldwide bee populations are in decline due to increased pesticide use, climate change, loss of habitat and biodiversity, among other factors.
