A few things we’ve learned about bees recently made us ask ourselves: are bees the most under appreciated creatures in the world?

Now honey is delicious, especially when combined with, oh, say, lemons & ginger. But aside from making honey, bees pollinate a ridiculous 80% of the plants in the world - including almost all of the fruit and veg that we need to live. In Ireland, our 101 species of bee pollinate apples, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, plums, cherries, carrots, onions and is anyone else getting a little peckish?

But there is a mystery surrounding these industrious insects - they are vanishing in their droves.  And some of Ireland’s bee species are in grave danger of dying out due to the disappearance of their habitat. We’ve already lost 25% of our hives in just the last 3 years.

So like Justin Timberlake did with the sexy, we’re gonna bring the bees back. Our new special guest smoothie, lemons, honey & ginger, has the details on the pack, but basically, every one sold helps us introduce (hi, I’m a bee, and you are?) 200,000 bees into Ireland, and leave them in the capable, glove-protected hands of the The Federation of Irish Beekeepers' Associations.

Albert Einstein once said:

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

And we say:

“Why did the bees go on strike? For more honey in their paychecks and shorter working flowers.”

(Well, you didn’t think we’d leave you on an Einstein quote, did you?)
