Today is World Bee Day 🐝

Every bottle we make starts with our bees.

World Bee Day is a reminder of just how important pollinators are, not just to us, but to our entire ecosystem. 🌍

As a not-for-profit distillery, everything we do supports our bees and local pollinator projects.

A small action like planting bee-friendly flowers can make a big difference 🌸

Let us know if you’d like help in knowing what bee-friendly flowers to plant!
