Save the Honey Bees!

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that we are losing honey bees at an increasingly dramatic rate.
Help Save them!

Haagen-Dazs has designed a pretty sweet website dedicated to the honey bee cause.

The website is easy to use, informative, and attractive. The type is small and clean, just the way I like it.
I also enjoy their HD/HB logo.


Here are some facts provided by Haagen-Dazs:

• One out of every three bites of food an average American eats is directly attributed to honey bee pollination.
• Honey bees are responsible for the pollination of more than 100 crops, including fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and * provide 80 percent of the country's pollination services
• The honey bee is responsible for $15 billion in U.S. agriculture crops each year.

Basically, it's really easy to help out the honey bees, especially if you like ice cream. Every time you buy Vanilla Honey Bee ice cream, a percentage is donated to help out honey bee research. Or, you could just donate money to research, or buy something from the online store.

Another great idea to help the bees would be by planting lavendar, glory bushes, jasmine, rosemary, coreopsis, violets, thyme, wisteria, bluebells, trumpet vine, sunflowers, cosmos, and cone flowers.

Oh, did I mention you get to make your own honey bee to spread the word?
