Knowing that one in four North American bee species face extinction and that one in three bites of food is thanks to a pollinator, The Buzz Maker launched the Save Ohio Bees initiative with Ohio artists and Honeyrun Farm.

The mission is to raise awareness and funds to protect bees and pollinator habitat while supporting local artists and encouraging grassroots climate action. 
“We believe in the power of small business to address big challenges,” said Tracy Teuscher, APR, president of The Buzz Maker. “We’re leveraging community, collaboration, and creativity to empower others to take small actions that make a big difference in reversing pollinator loss and restoring biodiversity.”

This year’s campaign launches May 20, World Bee Day, to benefit The Wilderness Center (TWC) of Ohio and The Pollinator Partnership. Artists, including The Bee Collective will donate a portion of net proceeds with a matching gift from The Buzz Maker through June 30. 

Pollinator projects and special events are part of this year’s lineup including a free virtual Bee Bootcamp scheduled June 8. 

Visit the Save Ohio Bees marketplace to shop local art and hive products, and find bee and plant guides, video resources, garden projects, local nurseries and more.
