The Bees Wheeze

Natural-products maker Burt's Bees bought by Clorox

Posted at 12:31 PM on 06 Nov 2007

Ugh!!!

Until I founded my own line, they were the only products I could really use due to my allergies and Fibromayalgia.  This is sad, scary and not good. What does Clorox really understand about pure and organic?  A sad day in history.
