Celebrate Bee’s Knees Week from June 13–22, 2025 with a cocktail crawl that supports both local businesses and the planet. This national initiative by Barr Hill Gin shines a spotlight on pollinator conservation during Pollinator Week, encouraging everyone to enjoy a classic Bee’s Knees cocktail—a refreshing mix of gin, lemon juice, and honey—and join the buzz on social media.
📸 Post your cocktail with #beeskneesweek and tag @barrhillgin—Barr Hill will plant 10 sq ft of pollinator habitat for every post!
🍾 Plus, for every bottle of Barr Hill Gin sold, they'll add 20 sq ft more.
Downtown Macon is joining the hive!
Pick up a Bee’s Knees Cocktail Passport and sip your way through participating bars and restaurants. Each stop will feature their own riff on the Bee’s Knees using Barr Hill Gin or Vodka. Collect a stamp with every cocktail, and once your passport is full, turn it in for a chance to win a $50 gift card to the downtown business of your choice!
