Abell Celebrates World Honey Bee Day!
For World Honey Bee Day 2024, Abell employees rolled up their sleeves and got planting! Using wildflower seed packets, team members created pollinator-friendly gardens to support our buzzing friends. Wildflowers play a crucial role in providing bees with the nectar and pollen they need to thrive — and by planting them, we’re helping protect these essential pollinators and the ecosystems they sustain. This initiative reflects Abell’s continued commitment to pollinator conservation and environmental stewardship.

Bees Are Pollinators

Bees and other beneficial insects pollinate plants, allowing them to reproduce. We learned about this in public school. That act of pollination occurs when a bee is collecting pollen.
