Burt's Bees Sets Out to Rescue Its OwnBurt's Bees Partners with NAPPC to Raise Awareness of Colony Collapse Disorder
DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The mysterious disappearance of bees, called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), is a growing threat to honey bees, the mainstay of pollination services in agriculture. Bee-friendly, natural personal care company Burt's Bees is addressing this environmental issue by developing a campaign with co-founder Burt Shavitz that will raise consumer awareness through PSA distribution, online marketing and consumer sampling efforts. Burt's Bees will also partner with the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) both with research funding as well as a heightened awareness push later this year.
On November 2nd, Burt's Bees will hit the big screen with a new cinema campaign to raise awareness of CCD. Burt's Bees public service announcement run in nationwide cinemas will coincide with the theatrical debut of "BEE MOVIE," the highly anticipated DreamWorks Animation SKG movie co-written by and starring Jerry Seinfeld opposite Academy Award(R) winner Renee Zellweger.
The new PSA highlights the fact that every third bite of food we eat depends on bees for pollination, and features Burt's Bees co-founder Burt Shavitz talking about the important role bees play in agriculture. "We believe the bees' survival depends on how we manage and protect our world," he says. "Burt's Bees is funding research to help find a solution, and you can help too. Support your local organic farmer. Plant a seed. Make a healthy place for the bees to live." The spot also urges audiences to visit www.burtsbees.com to sign up to receive a free packet of seeds to grow bee- friendly flowers and learn more about Colony Collapse Disorder…

I am Michael Jordan, The BEE Whisperer. One of the founders of "A BEE FRIENDLY COMPANY"!
HAVE US COME TO YOU CLUB, FAIR, OR SCHOOLS TO TALK BEE'S
A BEE FRIENDLY COMPANY is based in Cheyenne Wyoming. We have locations in Denver Colorado (The BEE Guru), and Sacramento California (Joshua Olmstead, founder of Save the BEE foundation) . We started out removing bees from building roofs, walls and floors, cars, construction sites, and barns, and placing the bees in to hives and new locations for them to live and work free of people trying to use pesticides to harm them. After 5 years A.B.F.C. had many beehives, in different styles and different types of bees in them. Still doing hive and swarm removals, A.B.F.C. decided to get more in to the beekeeping business. Placing hives on organic, or natural farms and ranches, (like the FOY R ANCH in Glendo Wyoming), and producing honey, wax, and “propolis” with the net work of hive they had. We have just started BEE TRACKING. W here we place a ribbon on a bee from a field and track it back to a bee hive in the the wild. Letting us get stronger bees to work with. This will be on the Discovery Channel in the Worlds of Wonder Know as THE LAST BEEKEEPER.
After working with bees and beekeepers from around the globe, A.B.F.C. moved to saving the bees and teaching beekeeping skills. We have been working with a foundation called “The PEARL Foundation” to teach beekeeping to orphans in Ethiopia, and helping them build an environmentally safe orphanage. A.B.F.C. is working with a local Eagle Scout in Cheyenne Wyoming to bring back the beekeeping badge that was dis banded in the 1970’s, and “AG In The Class Rooms” to teach younger beekeepers in the hopes of refilling the lost art of beekeeping and establishing new laws for states to make better beekeepers. A.B.F.C teaches general top bar and Langsroth Beekeeping. A.B.F.C. teaches the use of wax for water proofing, the making of lip balm, candles, wood polish, and ski/snow board wax. A.B.F.C. teaches How to collect pollen to help reduce allergies and to giv e high energy boost in athletes. A.B.F.C. sends propolis (a glue that bee's make) for cancer research in hopes of finding a cure for testicular and colon cancer. Sponering "The MEN in Kilts Poker Walk to halp fund bee projects and cancer research. A.B.F.C. has classes in the making of mead and honey wines for hobbyists. A.B.F.C. is getting investors to open a MEAD winery, to sale a mead c alled THE KINGS MEAD, from Mayo Ireland. A.B.F.C. handles bees and sends them to acupuncturists for bee sting therapy in helping with MS, Arthritis, and Fibrmyalgiae. A.B.F.C. are BEE ACTIVESTS, having may work shops and traveling to many places teaching, giving seminars, learning, and supporting honey bees, beekeepers, bee guardians, and bee enthusiast around the world.
***A.B.F.C. is working on a new type of bee hive called THE ENVIRONMEN TAL GREEN HIVE. This hive is made of 30% recycled plastic. So we are not filling up the land fills with waste that can be recycled, and not cutting down more trees that produce oxygen for our planet to make homes for the bees. It is based on top bar beekeeping and hives that dates from the 10th to early 9th centuries B.C. With the use of this hive, pollination will be easier. Its predator proof and does not need to be painted for up keep. This hive can be hung on the eve of a home or fence for Hobbest, or six to a rolling carrier for pollenation. A.B.F.C. is one leader in beekeeping and bee lovers around the world. Please check us out!***
