   Häagen-Dazs® Loves Honey Bees

Ice cream’s mascot has always been the cow, but the ice cream hero is much smaller – the hardworking honey bee. Over the last several years, more than 25 percent of the honey bee population in the United States has vanished. nearly 40 percent of Häagen-Dazs ice cream flavors are dependent on these tiny unsung heroes. To generate awareness and educate ice cream lovers about the dire situation and what can be done to help, the Häagen-Dazs brand is launching the Häagen-Dazs loves Honey Bees™ campaign and donating $250,000 towards honey bee research.
