BuZz into Bendels!

To increase awareness of the plight of the honey bees, Alex Woo and Häagen-Dazs co-hosted an exclusive cocktail event for fashion, food and lifestyle editors at New York City’s luxe Henri Bendel’s department store, which took place on Wednesday, October 21^st.  Renowned Chef, David Guas, who's also a bee enthusiast and the star of the Emmy-nominated PBS documentary Chefs A' Field prepared all of the delicious “bee-friendly” hors d’eourves (yummy!) and created his signature basil-lemonhead cocktail.  Of course there was also plenty of ice cream, which is why Häagen-Dazs has been donating money to help figure out why this is happening. At the event, Alex showcased a beautiful jewelry display which launched her newest addition to her Little Seasons collection, the Little Bee pendant.  Guests also had the privilege of viewing the designer’s most popular designs from her icon, fashion and fine jewelry collections.

CCD represents a looming crisis for agriculture. Pastry chef David Guas knows how important the little worker bee actually is. He joins beekeeper Dave Hackenberg in a picturesque Pennsylvania apple orchard in full bloom to work with the bees and to discuss how they, and our food supply, might be saved.
