Bees make the magic of honey possible, and at Nate’s, we’re all about helping them thrive. That’s why we’re proud to continue funding research at Cornell University, University of California, Davis (UC Davis), and the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), supporting honey bee health and pollinator-friendly practices nationwide.

Cornell University
Nate’s is supporting Cornell’s Department of Entomology for the seventh year in a row. This research helps keep bees and other pollinators healthy and even played a role in shaping New York’s “Birds and the Bees Act,” a law that reduces the use of chemicals that can harm them.

UC Davis
For six years running, we’ve supported the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center. Their work focuses on honey sustainability, the impact of honey adulteration on beekeepers and the food system, and pollinator research. UC Davis’s top-ranked Department of Entomology and Nematology also supports pollinator research.

UT Dallas
Our decade-long partnership with UT Dallas helps fund bee health, sustainability and pollinator protection. In addition, UT Dallas has transformed eighteen acres into a no-mow zone filled with native plants and pollinator habitats, and they even offer students a honey bee biology course, an inspiring way to get the next generation excited about caring for honey bees.

These partnerships are part of our Honey Gives Hope program, which champions bee health, educates future generations and encourages responsible beekeeping. Through Nate’s Hives, we care for more than 3 billion bees, introducing more families to the goodness of pure, raw honey straight from the source.

By investing in these programs, we’re making an impact that goes beyond the bottle, helping honey bees, beekeepers and the entire ecosystem thrive.
