Honeybees are but one member of a critical and increasingly threatened group of insects, birds and mammals known as pollinators. Pollinators perform a simple but essential function by transferring pollen from the male parts of one plant to the female parts of another, and thereby allow those plants to produce viable seed. The importance of pollinators cannot be overstated: almost 90% of all flowering plants would cease to exist without them! The fruits and seeds produced by these plants support entire ecosystems, and supply roughly 1/3 of our diet.
While honeybees and the threats they face have gathered a great deal of public attention, many less conspicuous or “sexy” pollinators are rapidly moving towards extinction without any media coverage or regulatory protection. For this reason we have decided to expand our donation program to support efforts to protect all pollinators. Through our honey sales the following organizations have received our support for their programs. If you wish to learn more about them please visit their websites and consider making a donation of your own.
Thank you,
