Our bee-licious new smoothie

 

Sorry - it’s hard to stay away from bee puns during the launch of our brand new guest smoothie: lemons, honey & ginger. That’s because aside from being full of all those Vitamin C-rich ingredients, it is also the start our Buy One Get One Bee project. So not only are we sure the new recipe is going to be a big hit (we’re beesotted), but every single bottle sold will help with what we’re calling “plan bee” - where we plan to introduce 200,000 bees  into Ireland to help shore up their sadly declining numbers. 

 

Of course we’ll not be letting loose a massive swarm of bees on an unsuspecting population, as horror movies have taught us that might be unwise. Instead, we’re teaming up with the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Associations (www.irishbeekeeping.ie).

 

The Federation’s members cover all of Ireland, from Donegal to West Cork, and when it comes to getting the best out of bees, well, they’re the knees on those bees. They have the know-how to distribute and nurture the new additions where they’ll do the most good - where they can pollinate the most fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants, and where they can make the most honey. Like the stuff we use in our new smoothie - did we mention it? Ah, the circle of life. 

 

You too can do your bit as well. With each little bottle you’ll get a free packet of seeds – wild flowers of the sort that bees really heart.

 

So while you’re enjoying the liquid sunshine-y taste from your bottle of lemons, honey & ginger smoothie, just think of what you’ve helped to happen: some little bee somewhere, drunk on apple pollen in a field or garden, doing her bit to help Ireland’s flora thrive.  As a plan it’s flawless. In fact, it’s bee-rilliant.
