Blondie + Bees
The band Blondie has recently jumped on the bee bandwagon with their new album Pollinator and campaign BEE Connected, whose mission is to raise awareness of the decline in the bee population by promoting organizations dedicated to conserving and improving the health of pollinators. Our Los Angeles beekeeper, Will Bristol, was the featured local beekeeper alongside Frontwoman Debbie Harry at a recent promotional event and photoshoot for Pollinator. Here, he gives us a glimpse inside the bee-friendly album, photoshoot, and event.
Honey, Cheese & Spirits: Delicious Pairings
Sweet and salty combinations like salted caramel or proscuitto and melon are classic pairings that engage our tastebuds and spark late night cravings. If you have a shelf piling up with a rainbow of honeys like many of our staff, we suggest marrying a variety of liquid gold with cheeses, fruit, nuts, and other accoutrements. Whether you’re planning a dinner party or an afternoon appetizer for two, a cheese and honey board is the perfect place to start.
