Join GloryBee for our 3rd Annual Run for the Bees. This virtual race to raise awareness of the plight of honey bees will be held during National Pollinator Week, so you can run, skip, walk, or roll to SAVE the BEE between Monday June 20th and Sunday June 26th.

Try a 5K, 10K or Half Marathon, whatever suits you and your fitness needs. Be sure to invite your friends!

So why Save the Bee? Honey bees do the heavy lifting when it comes to pollinating our food supply. We have bees to thank for one third of what we currently eat! But bees are stressed due to pervasive pesticide use, parasites, loss of foraging habitat, and poor nutrition. Join GloryBee in getting the word out that honey bees need our help! The SAVE the BEE Initiative raises funds to support research and education to ensure the future of honey bees. Read more at savethebee.org.
