Help the Honey Bees, Eat Ice Cream, Send Bee-Mail Posted: 03 Feb 2009 04:27 PM PST As beekeepers may have noticed, ice cream company Häagen-Dazs has set its marketing might firmly on the side of honeybees, in the face of colony collapse disorder and declining bee populations. And it makes sense — more than 40 percent of Häagen-Dazs all-natural ice cream flavours include ingredients that are dependent on honey bees for pollination. Part of the Häagen-Dazs loves Honey Bees™ campaign is an engaging website that’s sure to brighten a winter day. Visitors to the website click on an old-fashioned skep-style beehive to reveal the website’s menu of educational and entertaining options — fly through the fields with a pollinating honey bee, make a cartoon bee< and send her by email to another honey bee fan, download a lesson plan about the bee crisis and how you can help, shop for “Feel the Love Buzz” and “Long Live the Queen” T-shirts to support honeybee research and more. Go to HelpTheHoneyBees.com to learn more and explore. [Thanks to CBA member Jessica Breau for the link!] Post from: Central Beekeepers Alliance
