Honey bees create honey and beeswax, two naturally sourced substances that have helped humankind for thousands of years. Honey is a natural salve in cuts and abrasions, a healthy sweetener, and strengthens resistance to local pollen allergies. Beeswax also has a multitude of uses from lip balm, to candles, in wood & metal working, sealant, food prep, just to mention some. In today's context, honey bees pollinate about 1/3rd of what we eat, and an estimated 80% of the world's crops depend on the honey bee to survive. Without the honey bee, our way of life on a global scale, would be fundamentally altered in ways we cannot yet fully fathom.
Honey and beeswax are two gifts from our natural world that are highly prized in our modern daily lives, but also in bush craft, survival-prep, and off the grid living. PDW continues to help this little animal out and raise funds with this Limited Edition morale patch, and donate proceeds to The HoneyBee Conservancy. We support their ongoing efforts in finding a solution to Colony Collapse Disorder, educating the general public about the benefits and importance of the honey bees, and general honey bee well being.

Specifications:

  • Height: 1.8", sized to fit many baseball caps and covers with loop
  • Fully embroidered polyester thread on canvas backing
  • Hook backing with cover

Steven N. ★★★★★

The hook-and-loop backing holds tight and hasn't budged, and the bee detail feels crisp and sturdy compared to cheaper patches I've owned. It's a nice tribute to how bees have helped us with honey and wax for centuries.

Eva L. ★★★★★

Velcro backing is nice and firm, so it stays put on my vest without sliding around. The honey bee design is crisp and the colors pop just enough to be noticed. Exactly the kind of small morale patch I was hoping for.

Brian ★★★★★

Stuck it on my work bag and it’s already drawing compliments from the beekeepers at the farmers market. The embroidery detail on the bee’s wings is surprisingly crisp for such a small patch, and the hook side hasn’t frayed after a week of daily use.
