October 29, this week in Good Spirits: Bees

While the fields go dormant in Champagne, Spring begins in South Africa, just in time for Inverrouche Gin to provide a new home for Solitary Bees, the most important pollinator in South Africa. The Inveroche Bee & Bee serves double duty as an extension of packaging life and an awareness campaign in support of this endangered species.

Chateau Galoupet, in Provence, also paid tribute to the bee with guests from Observatoire François d'Apidologie (OFA). The wine maison emphasized the dangers of the shrinking bee population and the impacts of biodiversity since the 1970s in their multi-part series “Bees & Wine.”
