Whole Foods Market and its vendor companies have relaunched the Share the Buzz bee conservation initiative. And for the second year running, they are teaming up with the Xerces Society to promote awareness of and engagement in pollinator conservation. As part of the Share the Buzz campaign, Whole Foods Market stores nationwide will donate $0.10 to the Xerces Society for each pound of summer squash sold between June 12 and 25. Yup, on every summer squash: zucchini, yellow, crookneck, and all the others. The money raised will go directly to support our work with farmers across the country, helping them to restore wildflower-rich native habitat and protect local biodiversity. Whole Foods is running Share the Buzz in celebration of National Pollinator Week (which is next week). To help you find ways to eat squash, the Xereces Society will post a recipe every day until June 25 right on their facebook page.
