From Friday, September 18th through Sunday, September 27th, Bee’s Knees Week, a nationwide cocktail campaign by Vermont-based Caledonia Spirits, returns to benefit bees and boozehounds alike. This year more than 72 bars, restaurants and liquor stores from the Greater Boston area are signed up to participate just by featuring delicious fundraising drinks on their lists. All you have to do to be part of the collective Bee’s Knees Week effort is order a Barr Hill Bee’s Knees cocktail, snap a pic and share it on social with #beeskneesweek2020, tag @barrhillgin and the joint you got it from; Barr Hill will plant 1 sq/ft of bee habitat for every photo shared!

Have a sip and salute to the bees at spots like Spoke Wine Bar, Drink, or at Outlook at the Envoy or have a feast with your Bee’s Knees cocktail at Menton, Rail Stop Restaurant & Bar, and Sportello just to name a few (search for the closest restaurants or bars near you or check out the full list of places here). Support all the bartenders and bees that you can this year, because this year everyone needs a bit o’ honey (and environmental conservation initiatives).
