It is said that Haagen-Dazs warned that the disappearing bee colonies in the United States will affect the ice cream supply, which depends on pollination from bees.
Bees are responsible for 24 of its 60 flavors, which includes banana split, strawberry and toasted pecan. Haagen Dazs is donating $250,000 to two universities to fund research into the bee colony collapse disorder and are also trying to raise consumer awareness of the problem by launching a new flavor called Vanilla Honey Bee. They plan to use part of the sales from this flavor help the honeybees.
