Viva Abejas: by Chef Richard Sandoval

March 25 - April 22, 2025

Introducing Viva Abejas (Long Live Bees)!

Why bees?
One in every three bites of food depends on bees for pollination, and bee populations are in rapid decline.

How can we help?
Enjoy bee-centric specials benefitting the World Bee Project from March 25 - April 22, 2025 at Richard Sandoval restaurants around the globe. Join us at Lona and enjoy our savory Charred Avocado Salad dusted in bee pollen & Braised Short Ribs glazed and braised in honey.

MAKING AN IMPACT

Investing in young people is the best way to lay groundwork for the future, and the bees need our help. Viva Abejas is an initiative with a global reach, and any purchase of a food or drink special from our campaign will drive us towards a better future for all.

We are excited to share that Chef Richard Sandoval's first children’s book, Viva Abejas, is published and available on Amazon Prime.

The book is a study into sustainability and the food cycle for early readers and bee enthusiasts alike. The story tells of a young Ricardo who meets a Queen Bee in his abuela’s backyard, who educates him on the importance of pollination and conservation.
