Green Bee Featured by Real Maine + Maine Life!

July 07, 2025/ Chris Kinkade

We’re proud to share that Green Bee has been selected by Real Maine—a program of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry—for their upcoming feature celebrating producers who support pollinators, beekeepers, and local farmers.

To bring this story to life, Real Maine teamed up with Maine Life, the Emmy-nominated show that highlights standout Maine businesses, and came to tour our facility in Brunswick! They got a behind-the-scenes look at how we brew every bottle with real ingredients and a mission rooted in sustainability and support for the hive.

We’re honored to be the only soda made in Maine that not only uses real, whole ingredients—but also champions the bees, beekeepers, and farmers who make it all possible.

Catch our segment on News Center Maine this August! We’ll share the air date as soon as we get it—stay tuned!
