A bee and a hummingbird share some honeycomb. Although the European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common bee used commercially and for much of global pollination, it still produces some great local honeys in the USA!

This design is available on multiple sizes and colors of garments – all 100% proudly made in the USA!

 

More about the honeybee:

Honeybees are facing Colony Collapse Disorder – due to insecticides, habitat loss, and other causes. They are absolutely critical to the pollination of flowers, fruits, and vegetables – 30+% of our crops are cross-pollinated by bees.
