Endangered Species Chocolate to Feature a Bumble Bee
|
 Yes! Thanks to you, we won Endangered Species Chocolate's "Vote New Faces for New Flavors" campaign, and a bumble bee will be the new wrap star. The Xerces Society will also receive a $1,000 donation from Endangered Species Chocolate. This is fantastic and was only possible because of a huge outpouring of support. In the end, the bumble bee got well over 18,000 votes!
Thank you to Endangered Species Chocolate for including the bumble bee and Xerces in this campaign. Six animals were candidates: the bumble bee, orangutan, red panda, monk seal, peacock, and wallaby. Each of these were equally deserving of votes, but only two could be winners. Congratulations to the Marine Mammal Center, whose monk seal was the other champion and will also appear on a chocolate bar.
To give you a flavor of what lies ahead, here's a mock up of a chocolate bar from Endangered Species Chocolate.
