To bee or not to bee, that is the question.

We've entered an era where our attention and actions need to be geared toward protecting bees. Bees play a crucial role in our existence. Up to 2/3 of the global food supply relies on pollination. Healthy honeybees and native pollinator populations can increase yields of crops like coffee by up to 200%! They also play a huge role in overall ecosystem health and biodiversity, which is key to maintaining and preserving countless species around the world. However, bees are facing a critical challenge. The Center for Biological Diversity reports that over half of North America's 4,000 native bee species are experiencing a decline, and one out of every four species is at risk of disappearing forever.

Our mission

the goal

The bees need you! In honor of National Honeybee Day- Bluecorn, Heifer International, and WeHero have created a gift experience to raise awareness about the importance of bees while taking action to support these vital pollinators! This collective effort aims to grow thousands of native pollinating plants, donate hundreds of hives to developing communities, and support millions of bees.

About us

Bluecorn has been perfecting the art of beeswax candle making since 1991, when our founder, Jon Kornbluh, dipped his first beeswax candle in an off-grid cabin in Telluride. Three decades later, we still make each and every one of our pure beeswax candles by hand in Colorado, carefully matching each batch of beeswax to its perfect cotton wick for clean, long-lasting candlelight. We source premium-grade cappings beeswax for our raw beeswax candles. This wax is a sustainable byproduct of the honey harvest that leaves the comb wax in place for bees to reuse. It's also the brightest, best-burning, and sweetest beeswax available. As a small business devoted to people, pollinators, and the planet, we're proud to collaborate with Heifer International and WeHero to spread education and inspiration about pollinators and, crucially, to support Heifer's transformative honeybee program!

Heifer International

ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

Heifer International is on a mission to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities. Since 1944, Heifer International has worked with more than 42.9 million people around the world. Working with rural communities in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, including the United States, Heifer International supports farmers and local food producers to strengthen local economies and build secure livelihoods that provide a living income.

Beekeeping is an important component of Heifer International’s mission. Honeybees may be small, but their environmental impact is huge. Bees influence farming practices worldwide. It’s estimated that one-third of global food production requires animal pollination and 80-90% of this role is carried out by honeybees. Farmers who keep bees see increase crop yields whether they are growing coffee, spices or vegetables; healthy beehives can double the yield of a small farm. The practice of beekeeping not only protects the environment but helps farmers earn a living income by increasing crop yields and providing additional products like honey, wax, and pollen to sell.
