      <![CDATA[Regardless of who now owns Burt's Bees, that was a very cute and mostly accurate video about bees. <br />
<br />
It's warm hear today and my bees are out flying (they don't want to poop in the hive). I've put out some beeswax sticky with honey for them to clean off and enjoy. <br />
<br />
Another thing people can do to help bees - don't call an exterminator when you see a swarm or see bees in your soffit vents. Contact your local bee keeping society. Bee keepers will collect the bees and rehome them in hives.

      <![CDATA[Yep at #1. Big giant companies buy the successful small brands. You know it had gone to hell when Burt's Bees products started showing up in places like Target. <br />
<br />
Way back, Burts Bees had a combination of products that worked really well. But corporate can't stand stagnant and so they fucked it up completely by all their stinky fragrance bull shit products like fucking "pomegranate" and whatnot. fuckers

      <![CDATA[Like pretty much all cosmetic products, Burt's also contains the catch-all "fragrance." Because fragrances are considered proprietary secrets, their components do not have to be listed. They also frequently contain compounds (phthalates, formaldehyde), which are known toxins and carcinogens, and otherwise banned in food products by the FDA.

      <![CDATA[Good point @1. One in a line of formerly small environmentally sensitive companies (Whole Foods never being one of those): Clorox paid close to $1 billion, L’Oréal paid $1.4 billion for the Body Shop, and Colgate-Palmolive bought 84% of Tom’s of Maine for $100 million. In the case of Burt's, the queen bee (Roxanne Quimby, 33 single mom) made off with $300m (after a falling out?), and Burt (who maybe should have been using the big head) ended up with a couple million .  <br />
