Häagen-Dazs, Burt's, buzzing over dying bees

02:26 PM PT, Jul 15 2008

Häagen-Dazs, nervous about the inexplicable death of huge numbers of honeybees, a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder, has launched a campaign to raise awareness of -- and figure out -- the strange epidemic.

Häagen-Dazs is more than a little invested in the cause because, as one YouTuber points out: No Bees, No Ice Cream. Skin care manufacturer Burt's Bees has also gotten on the CCD video bandwagon.

The video below, where a bunch of "Bee boys" dance to buzzy music laid down by "DJ Honey" is actually pretty entertaining.
