The annual celebration of World Bee Day on May 20 raises awareness of the essential role that bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy, as well as the many other challenges they face today.
Currently, the number of bees, pollinators and other insects is declining. This day is an opportunity for all – governments, organizations, civil society and interested citizens – to promote actions that protect and help pollinators and their habitats, increase their abundance, maintain their diversity and support beekeepers and the sustainable development of the apiarian sector.
Fortunately, there are many ways to join the cause to save the bees without having to venture into the hive ourselves. In this newsletter we have collected different products from companies that have started efforts to save the bees, either by selling articles that use bee products or donating percentages of their sales to causes for the conservation of bees. So that in this way we can support the bees and in the process buy something that´s useful.

| HONEY FROM LOCAL BEEKEEPERS | |||
Montana Sweet Clover Honey (25 oz)
|
Farmers in Montana plant sweet clover to feed livestock and to naturally enrich the soil in their fields. The bees bumble and buzz from flower to flower, gathering the nectar they use to create the Montana Sweet Clover honey. While they may sip from a wildflower or two along the way, this is as close to “single source” as honey gets. The result is a pale amber color and delicate, lightly floral flavor, with delicious notes of shortbread and a pronounced, luscious sweetness. |

It has not been heated at high temperatures, and the natural pollens have not been filtered out. |
