Haagen-Dazs has named an ice cream to support the bees -- Vanilla Honey Bee -- and created a Web site (http://www.helpthehoneybees.com/) to answer consumer questions. A portion of ice cream sales goes to university programs to study CCD and for sustainable pollination research.
Haagen-Dazs also sponsors a postdoctoral research fellowship in honey bee biology at the University of California-Davis. UC-Davis houses the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, which is the nation’s largest apiculture facility.
Burt’s Bees Mobile Tour will visit 30 U.S. and Canadian cities by September. The bus is loaded with brochures about honeybees and free packets of wildflower seeds. http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentView?contentPageId=66&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1
