Honeydrop’s Bee Conservation Campaign

This past weekend, Honeydrop Beverages kicked off its latest initiative in the fight to save the bees. At UC Davis’ “Honey!” event, a yearly celebration of honey and bees featuring key note speakers, honey competitions, tastings and more, Honeydrop decided to help UC Davis make a buzz for the holidays! Having recently announced their “Buy a Bottle – Save a Bee” campaign, an initiative established to help local beekeepers maintain and build new beehives, in an effort to fight against Colony Collapse Disorder, Honeydrop is now thrilled to launch their holiday gifting charity initiative to help save the bees by gathering donations to benefit UC Davis Honeybee Research. “We are concerned about the plight of honey bees and proud to support research, outreach and education efforts at UC Davis that helps to better understand and support bees,” says Honeydrop CEO and Founder, David Luks. “Without honeybees, not only is there no honey, but also no almonds, no melons, no tomatoes, no sweet potatoes…they truly are an integral part of our food chain.”

Holiday Charity Promotion Honeydrop Aims to Aid in Efforts

Honeydrop Beverages recently launched a new campaign.  It’s to support the conservation of bees. They most notably made the decision to participate in the annual “Honey!” event at UC Davis.  One which celebrates honey and bees.  It also includes talks, honey contests, and finally tastings. Honeydrop’s aim was to generate excitement for the upcoming holiday season.  Most notably in collaboration with UC Davis.

Honeydrop has recently introduced their “Buy a Bottle – Save a Bee” program.  This program aims to support local beekeepers.  That’s especially in maintaining and creating new beehives.  All in order to combat Colony Collapse Disorder. They are now excited to announce their new holiday gifting charity initiative.  This initiative aims to gather donations for UC Davis Honeybee Research.  All to aid in saving the bees. This campaign was established following their previous “Buy a Bottle – Save a Bee” initiative.  One which we featured on the Green Living Guy website.

According to the CEO and Founder of Honeydrop, David Luks, they are committed to aiding in the research, outreach, and education initiatives at UC Davis.  Especially those that aim to improve our understanding and also support for honey bees. The absence of honeybees not only means a lack of honey.  That’s because it also is a scarcity of almonds, melons, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and other essential components of our food system. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the importance of honeybees in our food chain.

Starting from the year 2006, there has been a significant decline in the number of honeybees, with an estimated 30% loss annually due to various factors collectively referred to as CCD.

The entire amount of this financial contribution will be given to UC Davis to aid in honey bee research, with the exception of any fees incurred by PayPal.

Honeydrop equals bee conservation

As I have stated before, with over 200 hives under his watchful eye and a family beekeeping business based in Fairfield County, CT, Coté is a true steward of these industrious pollinators. Every Wednesday, you can find him at the Union Square Greenmarket, sharing the liquid gold produced by his buzzing companions.

 “We are concerned about the plight of honey bees and proud to support research, outreach and education efforts at UC Davis that helps to better understand and support bees,” says Honeydrop CEO and Founder, David Luks. “Without honeybees, not only is there no honey, but also no almonds, no melons, no tomatoes, no sweet potatoes…they truly are an integral part of our food chain.”  

Finally, since 2006, the honeybee population has been diminishing at an alarming rate.  That’s with nearly 30% of honeybees lost each year to a spectrum of causes, widely known as CCD.
