From the National Honey Board

The National Honey Board is celebrating September — National Honey Month — with its “Honey Saves Hives” educational program aimed to bring awareness to the importance of honey bees and their crucial role in our ecosystem and global food supply.

Honey is an all-natural sweetener crafted in nature exclusively by honey bees. In addition to producing the delicious honey we know and love, honey bees are also responsible for one-third of the foods we eat, pollinating more than 90 crops, including foods like fruits, nuts, vegetables, and seeds.

Honey Saves Hives

This year, the National Honey Board is partnering with TV host, food reporter, and lifestyle influencer, Brandi Milloy and influencer Joshua Snyder to drive awareness of the Honey Saves Hives program. Throughout the month, they’ll share more about the importance of purchasing honey and products made with honey to support honey bees.

“Honey Saves Hives is dedicated to sharing more about the magical honey-making process, and the impact honey bees have on the fruits and vegetables my family enjoys on a weekly basis,” said Brandi Milloy. “I am thrilled to raise awareness as a proud advocate for honey bees by incorporating honey in my routines in whatever ways I can. I encourage others to do the same to support these incredible creatures and the beekeepers that work hard to take care of them.”

As part of its Honey Saves Hives program, the National Honey Board is partnering with a variety of food and beverage brands that are dedicated to protecting honey bees and educating consumers on the ways we can help the honey bee population, and thus, our broader ecosystem. Partners include Justin’s, Mary’s Gone Crackers, TEAKOE, This Saves Lives, Sprecher Brewery and Tillamook Country Smoker. All of them will be actively sharing educational tips to help honey bees on their various channels. Consumers are encouraged to participate by purchasing honey and made-with-honey products from these partners at retail stores nationwide to make a positive impact.

“The National Honey Board is proud of our ongoing commitment to bee health research,” said Margaret Lombard, Chief Executive Officer, National Honey Board. “Along with our partner, Project Apis m., we have donated more than 4 million dollars to honey bee research to help ensure the future health and wellbeing of honey bees.”
