A Sweet Last-Minute Gift for Busy Shoppers

It’s Christmas Eve, so let’s all celebrate by raising a glass of mead to bees, the hardworking pollinators who make our holiday feasts possible. Without bees to pollinate them, about a third of our food crops would be in serious trouble. That’s why Heifer International provides bees to farmers around the world to boost crop yields. And, of course, bees also provide honey, a delicious multitasking sweetener with preservative and medicinal qualities.
