Burt Shavitz, Namesake of Burt's Bees, Has Died

Burt Shavitz, co-founder of Burt's Bees, has passed away at the age of 80 from respiratory complications in Maine. Burt's Bees released the following statement on their website:

"Burt Shavitz, our co-founder and namesake, has left for greener fields and wilder woods. We remember him as a bearded, free-spirited Maine man, a beekeeper, a wisecracker, a lover of golden retrievers and his land. Above all, he taught us to never lose sight of our relationship with nature. Thanks for everything, Burt. You will live in our hearts forever."
