Supporting Pollinators, One Fire Starter at a Time: Our Donation to the Xerces Society
As we reflect on 2025 at Bee Kindling, we are filled with gratitude for our incredible customers and the impact we’ve been able to make together. Today, we’re thrilled to share some buzzing good news: thanks to your support, we’ve donated $50 to the Xerces Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting pollinators and their habitats.
2025 for Bee Kindling is starting off right all thanks to you!

Why Pollinators Matter - 2025 for Bees!
Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other invertebrates are the unsung heroes of our ecosystems. Which is why we say that 2025 for bees and other polinators should be their year. Also, they play a crucial role in the growth of fruits, vegetables, and flowers by transferring pollen from one plant to another. However, without them, much of the food we enjoy simply wouldn’t exist.
Unfortunately, pollinator populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. That’s where the Xerces Society work comes in. Their mission is to protect pollinators through science-based conservation efforts, advocacy, and education. Also, from creating pollinator-friendly habitats to supporting sustainable farming practices, the Xerces Society is doing the work to that we at Bee Kindling like to support.
How You Made This Possible
At Bee Kindling, we’re passionate about sustainability and giving back to the planet. That’s why we’ve committed to donating 1% of every purchase to a non-profit which last quarter was the Xerces Society. Every fire starter you purchase helps fund initiatives that protect bees and other pollinators, ensuring a healthier and more vibrant planet for generations to come.
Our recent $50 donation in 2025 for bees and other polinators through the Xerces Society is just the beginning. With your continued support, we can contribute even more to this important cause in the months and years ahead. Together, we’re proving that even small actions can spark big changes.
