Earth Day and Bees: How CC Pollen Supports Sustainable Beekeeping

Every April 22nd, the world pauses to celebrate Earth Day—a moment to reflect on how we care for the planet we all share. And at CC Pollen, this isn’t just a one-day initiative. It’s a mission we’ve been committed to for nearly 50 years.

Founded by bee product pioneer Royden Brown, CC Pollen has always believed that true wellness starts with respecting nature—and that means protecting the pollinators that keep ecosystems thriving.

Why Bees Are Central to Earth Day

Bees aren’t just essential for honey—they're essential for life. They help pollinate over 75% of crops that feed the planet, from fruits and nuts to vegetables and grains. Without healthy bee populations, food security and biodiversity both suffer.

That’s why sustainable beekeeping matters—and it’s at the heart of everything we do at CC Pollen

How CC Pollen Practices Sustainable Beekeeping

We don’t just harvest from the hives—we care for them. Here's how we make a difference every day:

  • ✅ Hive-first harvesting: We only take what the bees can naturally provide—never pushing colonies beyond their limits.
  • ✅ No pesticides or synthetic additives: Our hives are free of harmful chemicals, protecting pollinators and surrounding ecosystems.
  • ✅ Low-impact processing: We use minimal heat or processing to preserve the natural integrity of our bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and honey.
  • ✅ Support for long-term bee health: Healthy bees = healthy planet. Our sourcing methods ensure bee populations stay strong year after year.

When you choose CC Pollen, you’re supporting more than just your wellness—you’re supporting a pollinator-positive future. Every one of our products is created with nature in mind and sustainability at the core.
