Last spring, Honey Nut Cheerios announced that by the end of 2020, farms that grow oats for Cheerios will house approximately 3,300 total acres of dedicated pollinator habitat on 60,000 acres of land. Large-scale habitat projects have already been planted or are underway with farms supplying ingredients to Cheerios, Muir Glen, Cascadian Farm, LÄRABAR and Annie's. Since 2011, General Mills has invested more than $4 million with the Xerces Society –the world's oldest and largest pollinator conservation group – to support pollinator and biodiversity efforts.

Pollinators need wildflower pollen and nectar to stay happy and healthy. With deteriorating colony health, pollinators everywhere have been disappearing by the millions 1. More than two thirds of the crops used to feed people, accounting for 90 percent of the world's nutrition, are pollinated by bees 1. Pollinators are critical to our environment.
