SAVE THE BEE VIRTUAL RACE
RUN FOR THE BEES!
A Virtual Race during National Pollinator Week
June 21 – June 27, 2021
Join GloryBee’s SAVE the BEE Initiative for our 7th Annual Run for the Bees. This virtual race to save honey bees will be held during National Pollinator Week, so you can run, skip, walk, or roll to SAVE the BEE between Monday June 21st and Sunday June 27th.
Try a 5K, 10K or Half Marathon, whatever suits you and your fitness needs. Be sure to invite your friends!
GloryBee is passionate about preserving the health of our favorite pollinators. Did you know honey bees do the heavy lifting when it comes to pollinating our food supply? (80% of food crop pollination.) Sadly, we are losing honey bees due to pervasive pesticide use, parasites, loss of foraging habitat and poor nutrition. Join GloryBee in getting the word out that honey bees need our help! All proceeds from the race go to our SAVE the BEE Initiative, which supports research and education to ensure the future of honey bees. Read more at savethebee.org.
