Carmel, CA, April 10, 2018 — At the heart of the corporate philosophy ofJake Reisdorf and his Carmel Honey Company is giving back to the community — both human and honeybees. Reisdorf, who founded Carmel Honey Company when he was only 11years old (he’s now 15), is so passionate about honey and especially the need to save honey bees and endangered bee habitat, that he also founded the “Jake Gives Back”program. The “Jake Gives Back” program not only makes financial donations to honey bee research and education organizations, it involves Reisdorf sharing his honey bee knowledge by speaking to students, service groups, civic organizations, businesses andcorporations. In addition to his speaking engagements, Reisdorf also does pop-up events where he can offer honey tastings, a presentation about bees and honey, as well as Q&Asessions. Honey bees are a critical to the production of many of the fruits and vegetables we love to eat. In fact, about 90% of US crops depend on honey bees. These social insects also pollinate clover and alfalfa, whicharefedtocattle,sotheyactuallysupportthedairyandmeatindustrytoo.Inaddition, honey bees are also important to cottonand flax crops.
