[Communications] Will you take a look at this for me?

[Lorraine Kells]

Christy,

We note that your article may well be very interesting, but there is a
concern that our community gardeners will confuse a non profit, Save *The*
Bees, which has a mission, statement with your organization, Save *Our*
Bees, which merely uses articles gleaned from publications such as The
Economist, the EPA, National Geographic, and gardening magazines. Can we
assume your article does the same?

Save THE Bees, was founded in 2020 by beekeepers, researchers, scientists,
and supporters with a goal of raising awareness on the current pollinator
situation. We prefer to allow our community gardeners to choose information
from a science-based non-profit with clearly stated intentions.

Thank you for your request, but we will deny it at this time.
Communications team
