## Holiday Charity Promotion Honeydrop Aims to Aid in Efforts

Honeydrop Beverages recently launched a [new campaign](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/local-beekeepers-benefit-from-new-honeydrop-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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/local-beekeepers-benefit-from-new-honeydrop-campaign/)”
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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/local-beekeepers-benefit-from-new-honeydrop-campaign/).
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.

#### Interested in contributing to bee conservation efforts?

Honeydrop encourages individuals to make a difference in the bee population by donating
at [http://www.honeydrop.com/savethebees](http://www.honeydrop.com/savethebees).

The initial 100 individuals who give $100 or more will be given a unique Honeydrop
gift bag filled with Honeydrop merchandise and equipment, an authorized [“Save the Bees”](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/06/beeograph-takes-on-saving-the-bees/)
certificate, and presents from Honeydrop’s partnering local beekeepers. 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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/local-beekeepers-benefit-from-new-honeydrop-campaign/),
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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/greenmarket-collections-reach-1000000-lbs-sweet/),
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.
