*Silk** Launches First Bee Better Certified Almondmilk*

Happy Earth Week Pollinator Listserv Folks,

Following on the heels of last week’s announcement by Walmart that they are
adopting Bee Better Certified as a sustainability benchmark for their fresh
produce suppliers, we’re thrilled to have more news.

This week, SilkⓇ unveiled their first Bee Better Certified almondmilk
products

which are initially launching right now in Costco stores nationwide.

Almond farms certified to the Bee Better standard have planted habitat to
provide food and shelter to bees and promote integrated pest management
practices that are safer for bees.

As part of the effort to develop these products, Silk supported the
installation of more than 25 miles of drought tolerant native hedgerow
plants in California almond orchards. The brand recently announced its
commitment
to have 100% of the almond acreage supporting Silk farmed with Bee Better
practices by 2025.
