Hi my name is Gary Logan.  Back in February 2007 my niece Jessica and I watched a documentary about Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the phenomenon is characterized by sudden colony death, with a lack of adult bees inside the hive or on the ground in front of the hive.  While the underlying cause is not known, it appears that the disorder affects the adult bees’ ability to navigate.

Jessica and I began to do some research and found that CCD has been reported to be occurring in at least 24 states in North America and in India, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Great Britain.  To grow fruits, vegetables, or nuts in the United States on a commercial basis you have to have soil, sun, seeds, water, and honeybees -- millions and millions of honeybees brought in from all over the country to pollinate the crops.  Honeybees are the unsung heroes of the food chain, crucial to the production of one third of the foods we eat including such species as almonds, peaches, soybeans, apples, pears, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers and strawberries.

In the United States, a very large portion of all pollination occurs from honeybees.  Roughly 80% of all insect crop pollination is accomplished by honeybees instead of other insect species.  If the bees were suddenly eliminated, the cross pollination of many species would cease.  Those crops would not yield as much the following year and perhaps nothing the next year.  So, supplies of food would drop drastically.  Price increases and a large strain on the economy could be the result.

That’s how the idea of this website came about.  Since then Jessica has passed away.  This website is dedicated to Jessica’s memory and her devotion to saving the honeybees.  Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Twenty percent of all the proceeds of sales on this website will go to the Ohio State Honey Bee Laboratory at the Ohio State University.  Along with our organic cotton t-shirts and bumper stickers, we will be updating our website with products such as green cleaning supplies, laundry detergents, beeswax candles, BeeBaby wear, soaps and much, much more.  To learn how to make a donation, click here:
