One of the first packages I received after announcing my first pregnancy was from my sister: a jar of Mama Bee Belly Butter and a tube of Mama Bee Leg and Foot Cream, both by Burt’s Bees, and they both came in extremely handy! I used to have hubby slather my growing baby bulge with belly butter and even though I was lucky to never have problems with stretch marks, the thick cream did wonders for the itching of a stretching tummy! The leg and foot cream was also well loved with the peppermint extract which helped ease away the aches and pains of tired legs. When Honeybun was born, my sister again turned to Burt’s Bees and gifted us a Baby Bee starter set which came in very handy when traveling and was so gentle on her sensitive little baby skin and made her smell so sweet.
So most people know Burt’s Bees products are natural and made in the USA and you may even know about the company’s commitment to the environment through water reclamation; zero waste; and energy efficiency (you can read all about it at burtsbees.com).
But what do you know about Burt, the man behind the bees?
Today is the day to find out! How did a boy from Long Island become a reclusive beekeeper and founder of a now-famous natural body care products brand. The documentary Burt’s Buzz, the story of Burt’s Bees founder Burt Shavitz, is premiering around the country. But the great news is, even if you can’t make it to a local showing (like me with the closest showing almost an hour away plus three kids and a 9:30 bedtime!) Burt’s Buzz is available onDemand and iTunes starting today!
You can view the trailer, find showing locations and times and get more information all on Burtsbuzzdoc.com and now you can win some great Burt’s Bees products!

I’ve personally used Burt’s Bees products and they work very well. I love the fact that they’re natural also.
I love the formula in their products. Great scent not to overpowering and the work great on my family’s skin. We are true fans of Burt’s Bees !
