‘Drink HoneyWaterTM, Save the Bees’
• HoneyWater is a healthy all-natural line of delicious and refreshing water beverages, sweetened with the finest Canadian Honey.
• Honey and water together have been used as a nutritional and medicinal supplement for thousands of years, all across the world - our proprietary HoneyWaterTM formulation is taking this ancient and cultural drink to the global market, for the first time.
• HoneyWaterTM is at the forefront of a generational shift towards naturally sweetened foods and beverages, with no refined sugars. But the story doesn’t end there. HoneyWaterTM was founded to be about more than an allnatural refreshing and health conscious beverage. It’s about raising awareness and combating one of the most significant issues affecting our generation - colony collapse disorder (CCD) of honeybees.
• To address this, we have pioneered the ‘Buy a bottle, Save a Bee program’ where a portion of proceeds from each bottle sold go directly towards our programs and initiatives.
• We have partnered up with the most impactful honey farms, non-profits, and industry organizations across Canada, including Munro honey, Canadian Honey Council, and Toronto Bee Rescue, to lead the fight. Why are the bees so crucial for food, agriculture, and sustainability?
• Since 2006, honeybee populations have been diminishing at an alarming rate all across the world. In Canada, we have seen average losses ranging from 30-50% per year due to a spectrum of causes.
• Approximately a third of the food we eat depends on pollinating insects. Everything from vegetables like zucchini, fruits like apricots, nuts like almonds, spices like coriander, edible oils like canola, and many more are dependent on bees or other similar species.
• Honey bee pollination contributes more than $2 billion per year of agricultural output to the Canadian economy, and $17 billion per year in the USA. “The way humanity manages or mismanages its nature-based assets, including pollinators, will in part define our collective future in the 21st century” - Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director, 2011
