Gumuchian’s “B" Collection Helps Save Precious Bees
New York, NY—Starting at $600, Gumuchian’s “B” collection is an eco-conscious collection with a portion of proceeds being donated to CityGrowers.org. According to recent studies, including some by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one in every three bites of food consumed in the United States is either directly or indirectly pollinated by bees, which are facing grave danger from overuse of pesticides. The “B” collection and CityGrowers.org are helping to save the bee population, a critical part of our ecosystem.
