The number-one branded honey company invests in industry-leading research and educational programs at UC Davis for the fifth year in a row

MCKINNEY, TEXAS – September 24, 2024 – In honor of National Honey Month, Nature Nate’s Honey Co., the number-one branded honey company in the U.S. and producer of 100% pure, raw & unfiltered honey, continues its investment in the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.

“At Nate’s, we believe we have a responsibility to make a positive impact on the future of bee health. It starts with research and education, and we’re honored to support healthy hives,” said Nathan Sheets, President and CEO of Nate’s. “What makes the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center so unique is its approach of bringing together diverse group of researchers, beekeepers, chefs, food scientists and other leading experts to focus on the importance of honey and pollination for the wellbeing of families and communities.”

Since 2020, Nate’s has supported the efforts of the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center, which seeks to bring attention to honey sustainability and better understand how honey adulteration affects beekeepers, honey production and, ultimately, our food system. UC Davis’ Department of Entomology and Nematology has been ranked number-one nationally and continues to lead the way in agricultural innovation and sustainability by promoting pollinator-related research and conferences.

“We deeply appreciate the generous gift from Nature Nate’s to support the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center,” said Dr. Ned Spang, University of California, Associate Professor, Food Science and Technology and Director, Robert Mondavi Institute. “This type of support is essential to advance our work on public education and outreach related to the production of high-quality honey and honey-derived products.”

As part of its Honey Gives Hope program, Nate’s invests in programs that keep hives healthy and honey bee populations thriving, so everyone can enjoy the unadulterated goodness of real pure honey. Nate’s also supports honey bee health programs at other leading universities across the U.S. As a honey category leader, Nate’s proudly cares for tens of thousands of Nate’s Hives to promote responsible beekeeping and introduce more families to the goodness of pure honey, directly from the source.
