Thank You for Your Help Saving the Bees!

As you may be aware, Center for Food Safety is the organization we donate 1% of our gross sales to, through One Percent for the Planet. We wanted you to know how Center for Food Safety uses the money you donate to them by shopping with us. Every time you purchase honey and honey products from us, 1% of your sale are donated to Center for Food Safety to save the bees. That is a win/win for us all.
