9/20/2020 Alert: On-line company using Save the Honeybee Foundation's name in spam campaign

We have received countless queries about this company "For the Bee" (website: https://officialforthebee.com/pages/our-story) and their relentless Instagram spam campaign, claiming that they donate 50% of their profits to our organization. This is entirely false information, and it appears that this company is using our name and the cause of honeybees and pollinators to sell their products. Please do not do business with this company or any other that does not have a confirmed link with a legitimate non-profit. Thank you again to all those who have brought this situation to our attention!
