TwitCause is helping honey bees this week! For every tweet that includes #HelpHoneyBees between November 5th and November 11th, Häagen-Dazs will donate $1 to the Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis. This bee lab is doing amazing research into the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder in hoping to find a cure for this mysterious disease.
Bee populations are disappearing at alarming rates and since Häagen-Dazs relies on honey bees for many of the natural ingredients that go into their ice cream, they started HelpTheHoneyBees.com.
You can learn more about honey bee research from UC Davis on Twitter by following Kathy Keatley Garvey (@keatleygarvey).
Get tweeting and help keep these inestimable pollinators buzzing!
