Bees are responsible for pollinating 30% of our food crops. If they become extinct, much of the world’s food supply will disappear with them. Haagen-Dazs is supplying 2,000 packets of wildflower seeds for plants favored by foraging honey bees — the seed packets will be given out on Saturday, May 31 at the Artisan Market in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn.
Fort Greene resident and beekeeper, John Howe of Brooklyn Bee Apiary, is coordinating this effort and will be on hand to offer advice and answer any questions you may have about bees and their role as part of our ecosystem.
