We Give Golden Sweet Honey A Home

"Busy as a bee” is more than a saying.

Bees are instrumental in the making of Honey Nut Cheerios, and we want the world to know that. Watch the video below to see how we recognized our bees as they stars they are.

Our Passion for Honey Starts at the Source

Honey is more than just an ingredient – it’s the flavor at the heart of Honey Nut Cheerios. And that’s why we work hard to source every drop of our honey from beekeepers who love honey as much as we do.

Bees have to visit 2.6 million flowers to make a pound of honey

Cheerios Wants to #BringBackTheBees

By 2021 our oat farms will host about 3,300 acres of nectar and pollen-rich wildflowers, which are full of the nutrients bees and other pollinators need to stay strong. Working with the Xerces Society, we have already made amazing headway by engaging dozens of oat farmers with active work to get more habitat planted on their farms. This work is literally changing the landscape for bees in some of the major oat growing regions of the north-central United States and central Canada.
