Drink These Aberfeldy Cocktails to Help Save the Bees

By Amanda Gabriele

You are likely aware of how important honey bees are to the environment.

If there were no bees, there would also be no fruits, vegetables or herbs to enjoy and keep humanity alive. We know it sounds bleek, but it’s the truth, which is why we’re so excited to support the latest initiative from Aberfeldy Scotch. In celebration of National Honey Bee Day on August 17, Aberfeldy has teamed with more than 20 bars across the United States on their “Adopt-a-Bee” cocktail program. For every drink purchased, Aberfeldy will donate 12 bees to hives at local honey bee conservancies, like Tremblay Apiaries in New York.

Each participating bar has created a cocktail that features Aberfeldy 12-Year-Old scotch and honey from a local bee farm. The initiative is part of the brand’s global Barrels and Bees program, which works with local beekeepers to feature their honey as the main ingredient in signature cocktails. Participating cities for this year’s National Honey Bee Day event include Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. If you find yourself in any of these cities come August 17, make sure to pop into one of the below bars, order the listed specialty cocktail and help save the bees.
