Did you know that every cup of Comics On Coffee you enjoy has a tiny superhero to thank? It’s true—bees play a huge role in creating the coffee you love! Without these little winged wonders, your morning ritual wouldn’t be nearly as flavorful or exciting.
Here’s how it works:
When coffee plants bloom, their small, fragrant flowers open for just a few days—just enough time to throw the world’s shortest (but sweetest) garden party. Bees flock to the blossoms, collecting nectar and pollen.
As they travel from flower to flower (and sometimes even to different types of plants nearby), they carry the pollen with them, making sure each coffee flower has the best chance to become a delicious coffee cherry.
But the bees don’t stop there! As they gather nectar, all the subtle notes from the local wildflowers—think citrus, honey, floral, and even a hint of spice—are transferred and woven into the very heart of the coffee cherry.
That’s why, when you savor a cup of our coffee, you might notice vibrant citrus undertones or delicate floral notes—thank the bees for that burst of complexity.
Why does this matter?
Better coffee yields and higher-quality beans:Â Bee-powered pollination means more uniform fruit set, plumper cherries, and richer, more interesting flavors in every batch.
A thriving ecosystem: Bees enhance genetic diversity and help coffee plants resist environmental stress—making our direct trade farms stronger, year after year.
Notes that tell a story: From sweet to citrusy, the flavors bees carry make your cup memorable. Every sip connects you directly to nature’s most creative collaborators.
Bees are more than just pollinators—they’re artists, painting each bean with a unique fingerprint of flavor and aroma.

Tony, our logistics ninja and head coffee wrangler, is also an avid beekeeper. That’s right—when he’s not overseeing the journey of our beans from mountain to mug, he’s out back tending to his own hives, suited up and fully immersed in one of his favorite pastimes.
