Bee The Change T-Shirt
Save the Bees
The directors of the film Vanishing of the Bees, narrated by Oscar-nominated actress Ellen Page, decided to create a Bee the Change t-shirt! We think it’s cute, and many others agree. Lucky Magazine even featured the magazine. And many wear it proudly!
Support our worker bees. This t-shirt is hand-screened on organic cotton so no bees have been harmed. In other words, conventional corn is doused with neonics. Wearing conventional cotton inadvertently harms bees. The T-shirts are from American Apparel.
Why the wait you ask? Well, these tees are not cheap to make. We want to know exactly how many to order and the actual sizes, rather than taking a shot in the dark. Then we have to order the organic cotton and send them to the hand screening company to create them. Then we send them to you.
HoneyColony is a home-grown company. We’re about five with Maryam Henein as our queen bee. We are not Amazon and do not use drones. This is a limited-edition Save the Bees item!
Part of the proceeds will be given to Center For Food Safety, a 501c3, U.S. environmental, non-profit organization, based in Washington, D.C. Center for Food Safety’s Pollinator Program utilizes a multi-faceted approach of legal, political, and grassroots strategies to encourage action from our government, policymakers, and citizens to curb the use of toxic pesticides and protect food security. They work to encourage a more sustainable and resilient food future that is rooted in organic practices.
“I am honored to cross-pollinate with CFS,” says Maryam Henein. “They have been working relentlessly for years now to help our bees. They are at the forefront of this issue, working to change policies and get attention on Capital Hill. They’ve filed lawsuits, advocated for stronger policies to protect these species, and spearheaded several grassroots campaigns. Let’s help these worker bees.
Honeybees have been dying in masses due to Colony Collapse Disorder for the past six years while chemical companies like Bayer Crop Science and Monsanto continue to place profits over bees and beings.
In the end, it is up to us to be the change we want to see in the world. During the making of the film Vanishing of the Bees, directors George Langworthy and Maryam Henein (HC Founder) consciously made a decision to empower viewers with solutions instead of focusing on the problems at hand. Today, honeybees are on the forefront of our consciousness more than ever before. And there are more and more folks keeping bees and growing gardens. Change is among us! The first step in affecting change is education.
Sport our t-shirt and support a hive that is dedicated to spreading the truth about our food supply. What a Sweet Deal!
T-shirts come in men’s and women’s small, medium, large, x-large, and xx-large. Shirts run small so we suggest going one size up and checking with the sizing sheet we’ve thoughtfully posted.
Chest: Measure under arms around the fullest part of the chest. Be sure to keep tape level across the back and comfortably loose. Waist: Measure around the natural waist with a measuring tape. This sizing chart is approximate. For more detailed information, please see garment specifications. Questions? Please email info@honeycolony.com or call 323.250 0707. Because this is a personal care item we can only make an exchange if you have not worn it.

I was so disappointed when their was no where to choose a size at checkout and they sent me XXXL so the shirt was so gigantic, I just donated it to charity. I really liked the quality and graphics but something is definitely wrong with the ordering process and I would have preferred a size large based on the other reviews.

How do these do in the wash? Do they shrink? I so wish you had colors though,…. not a fan of white T’s. Great concept though, need some color choices! Thanks!

Absolutely LOVE this shirt! I live in rural southwest Virginia and many here are doing everything we can to protect and increase the honey bee numbers. More bees = not only yummy honey and products, but also more fruits, veggies, herbs…everything! I’m going to share this site and these great products (like this shirt!) with my bee enthusiast friends.

Lovely t-shirt. I wish I had ordered a large instead of a medium, it’s a smaller fit. I hope to wear the shirt proudly, if I can’t I will be sure to pass it onto someone who supports the cause. Happy to see American made and organic cotton!

I keep bees so my wife ordered this shirt for me. Very cool. Appreciate that this company had the sense to make it on organic too. Thanks.

How cute is this shirt??? I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I LOVE it!! I kinda haven’t taken it off…lol. Luckily I am a big American Apparel fan so I knew what my size was before ordering. Maybe just size up if you’re unsure but the organic cotton is awesome! Grateful, Angie.

I’d like to have one of these great T-shirts but I’m very confused by the size chart. I normally wear a Men’s large and occasionally a XL. But, according to the chart above, I’d need a 2XL to fit me 33″ waist and then I’d be swimming in the chest. And, I’m not sure if this is the Men’s or Women’s size chart. Can someone please clear things up?
Have a wonderful week!

It would be awesome if you had either colors, scoopnecks, and tanks…I would definitely get probably a scoopneck and tank in colors…Thinking about getting this one seeing as its the only style available but would love to own a scoopneck.

Just ordered 4 T-shirts. Sent email with the sizes. Excited about this site. My grandson (10) has been researching raising bees intently for a year. We bought a bee hive together a month ago. We’ve had to add 2 more boxes in just a month. They are flourishing. We watched Vanishing of the Bees together. He went to a Bee Seminar in Nashville. Everything organic.

My favorite Gandhi quote, relating to my biggest cause; I HAVE to get this shirt!

Looks like a great t-shirt!
I do have some suggestions to make this campaign better, though:
1) make the shirt in some darker colors with light lettering
2) Make it clear how we get and share a link that will get us points. I have searched your site and can’t seem to find the answer to this.
