NEW DATE | JOIN US JUNE 13-22

We're excited to coincide with Pollinator Week for our Bee's Knees Week celebration this year.

    WHAT IS BEE'S KNEES WEEK?

    It is our weeklong celebration that brings together bartenders, cocktail fans and environmental stewards around the country to help support pollinators, raise awareness and celebrate the delicious, iconic Bee’s Knees cocktail. Since 2017 we've been able to create over 1 MILLION sq/ft of new pollinator habitat and we're excited to keep growing the impact.

    Bee's Knees Week is a proud 1% For The Planet program member, ensuring all funds go directly to vetted non-profits to benefit pollinators and communities.

    Why are bees so important?

    Nearly 90% of flowering plants and 30% of our food crops rely on animal pollinators. Bees, particularly honeybees, are the unsung heroes behind more than 90 different food crops in the United States, contributing over $20 billion annually.
