To Bee of Service

You don’t have to keep bees to help bees. One way we can do our part to remedy the current situation is to buy local. If a regional honey isn’t available, at least read the label to make sure it’s from the United States.

Smoot Honey’s co-owner, Mark Jensen, also comments on how anyone can plant for pollinators. Last year at Smoot Honey headquarters, they planted a small plot of a pollination mix that blooms from spring to fall.

“It was cool,” Jensen says. “In July, we had I don’t know how many species of bumblebees. It was nuts. It was alive with flying creatures.” Everyone can do this to benefit their local bees.
