Bee Natural Believes in Giving Back!
     
Before inventing Honeypots and founding Bee Natural, owner Creighton Cutts worked on Cumberland Island and in the Marine Mammals Department at the Smithsonian Institution www.nmnh.si.edu/vert/mammals/mmp.html. A portion of proceeds from sales of Honeypots is donated for environmental research.

Creighton has been involved in several research projects, including lead technician on the Cumberland Island bobcat reintroduction project and training personnel and conducting surveys for The Dolphin Project, a multi-year study endorsed by the Smithsonian to determine if the Bottlenose Dolphin population on the coast of Georgia was recovering from the die-off that occurred during the mid-eighties. Creighton still maintains ties with the Smithsonian, and spends 1-2 months a year on Cumberland Island. He was formally appointed Associate Curator of the private Cumberland Island Museum www.cimuseum.org seven years ago, and was one of the principals involved in the actual construction of the facility some years earlier.

Creighton's major goals in research are to assist graduate students in their efforts to secure scholarships and grants for environmental related studies, to continue with the marine mammal and reptile stranding and reproduction research that he has been involved in for two decades, and formulate the proposal and raise the capital to expand the Smithsonian Institution to a network of museums across the US (an idea proposed by the Secretary of the Smithsonian several years ago but presently not seriously pursued by the government).
