Rohan Rehani, Co-Founder of Moonshine Meadery and Moonshine Honey Project remarked, “In the previous year 2022-2023, Moonshine accomplished a remarkable feat, utilizing over 55 MT of honey for crafting both mead and retail honey sales. It’s fascinating to note that it takes approximately 4 million flower visits by bees to produce just 1 kg of honey. Therefore, with our consumption of 55 MT of honey, we’ve effectively contributed to the pollination of a staggering 220 billion flowers. We’re taking one pint at a time and promoting more mead at a lower price point. Our objective is to consistently weave a narrative that underscores Moonshine’s commitment to ecological balance through bee preservation and dedicated beekeeping practices.”

Every glass of Moonshine consumed results in the pollination of around 4 million flowers. In an arena where only a handful of alcohol brands place emphasis on societal and environmental matters, Moonshine’s mindful commitment radiates brilliantly, reshaping the industry’s responsibility in driving positive global progress.
