Attention gardeners and Honey Nut Cheerios lovers! The beloved breakfast cereal has teamed up with Vesey’s  with the Bring Back The Bees contest! Until Sunday, May 8, 2016 11:59 EST, you get a chance to win 1 of 5 $5,000 wildflower garden makeovers. Imagine getting a full garden makeover worth $5,000? I bet your garden will be filled with tons of beautiful wildflowers! But hurry! There are only two days left to enter so swing by their site as soon as possible.

You may remember I entered a few weeks back. I just got my seeds in the mail and I’m off to my garden tomorrow to plant them!

 

Why do we need to #BringBacktheBees?

Honey bees have been ruling the world for the past 50 million (yes million!) years but there is bad news on the horizon for them – they’re starting to die out! Honey Nut Cheerios has started a new campaign to help try and shed light on this crisis.

Take a look at the following video featuring American entomologist Marla Spivak to find out more about the current crisis.
