The Pollinator Pledge

Every can protects the bees that make it possible. $0.10 from every can sold goes directly to pollinator conservation — because without them, there is no mead.

Where the Money Goes

Four Pillars of Impact

Every dollar is allocated to programs that create measurable, lasting change for pollinator ecosystems.

🌻
Wildflower Corridors
Planting native wildflower habitats along agricultural boundaries — creating safe foraging pathways that connect fragmented pollinator populations across California and beyond.
🐝
Beekeeper Training
Supporting next-generation beekeepers with equipment, mentorship, and education. Ensuring the craft of apiculture thrives for decades to come.
🌿
Pesticide-Free Transitions
Helping farms transition to pollinator-safe practices through grants, technical assistance, and integrated pest management consulting.
📊
Research & Monitoring
Funding colony health research, disease tracking, and long-term monitoring programs that inform conservation policy at the state and federal level.
