We Need Pollinators
Pollinators are the bees, butterflies, moths, flies, bats, birds, and other animals that are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. This nearly invisible ecosystem service is crucial for sustaining our environment, agriculture, and economy. With threats like habitat loss, misuse of pesticides, invasive species, and climate change jeopardizing pollinators' ability to thrive, our food systems are at stake.
Buy Bee Friendly
Look for the golden bee on nuts, snacks, and non-dairy milks at the grocery store! Every product with the Bee Friendly Farming® logo ensures that the ingredients came from verified farms that implement pollinator-friendly and sustainable practices.
