The importance of honey bees and all-natural honey are causes Lewis Bakeries, Evanston, Ind., and the National Honey Board are rallying around for National Honey Month in September. The two organizations worked together to develop a website page detailing the role honey bees play in honey production and the role honey plays in many of Lewis Bakeries’ fresh bread and roll products. Visit the website at: http://nationalhoneymonth.com/lewis-bakeries/. Lewis Bakeries uses honey in many of its breads under the Lewis Bake Shop brand, including:

• Lewis Bake Shop Honey Wheat Bread
• Lewis Bake Shop Honey Wheat Burger Buns
• Healthy Life Honey Wheat Bread
• Bunny Honey Wheat Bread
• Butternut Honey Wheat Bread
• Lewis Bake Shop Whole Wheat Bread
• Bunny Whole Wheat Bread
• Butternut Whole Wheat Bread

As part of the National Honey Month promotion in September, Lewis Bakeries and the National Honey Board will be running social media campaigns encouraging consumers to choose products made with honey, which helps support honey bee health, research and beekeepers.

“The National Honey Board is proud to partner with Lewis Bakeries for National Honey Month in September,” Catherine Barry, National Honey Board’s director of marketing, says. “We had a meeting with their team earlier this year and it was clear that they strongly believed in the importance of honey bees and the value of using an all-natural sweetener such as honey.”
