Bragg® Announces Partnership with Nonprofit Organization, Save the Bee
Beloved wellness brand doubles down on wellness for all – planting over ten acres of critical pollinator habitats to support healthy bees; Commits to "beekeeping" education
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bragg Live Food Products, Inc. ("Bragg"), one of the oldest and most trusted health and wellness brands and the leading U.S. brand of apple cider vinegar announces a new partnership with Save the Bee, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting bees and beekeepers to keep our food supply safe, improve the environment and sustain human health.
"From the beginning, the Bragg family was committed to a mission of health and wellness for all people and the planet. They helped people thrive through educating about the power of healthy habits, empowering organic agriculture and generously supporting the causes they cared about," said Bragg CEO Linda Boardman. "Bragg's partnership with Save the Bee is an extension of that legacy - our commitment to expand the ways we can contribute to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem."
The importance of bees cannot be understated. Bees pollinate 75% of the world's flowering plants. In fact, one-third of our diet – our favorite foods that keep us healthy and happy - need bees to grow. And in total, bees (or "pollinators") contribute $18 billion annually to the U.S. economy in crop production. (Source: Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2020, USDA 2022)
"Bees play an integral part in all our lives, and for Bragg, they're an essential part of the apple-growing process. A 'keystone species,' the bee adds to the resiliency of crops, decreases soil reduction and are critical to a vibrant agriculture system, and this includes apple growth," says Eric Mason, Executive Director at Save the Bee. "By cultivating pollinator-friendly environments in agricultural landscapes, it is possible to not only strengthen bee populations but also to unlock numerous environmental benefits that enhance the sustainability and ecological balance of farming systems. That's why this partnership with Bragg is so important for us."
The Bragg/Save the Bee partnership is a testament to the power of collective action in preserving the planet's health and the wellness of people. Through combined efforts, the goal is to protect pollinators, secure food supply and create a more sustainable future for generations to come. This partnership will work to help address:
