The Man Behind 'burt's Bees'

On Monday, Burt’s Bees posted a tribute to its eccentric namesake, Burt Shavitz, who died at 80 over the weekend. “We remember him as a bearded, free-spirited Maine man, a beekeeper, a wisecracker, a lover of golden retrievers and his land,” the message read. “Above all, he taught us to never lose sight of our relationship with nature.” In the pantheon of woodsy-seeming New English business folk, Shavitz is right up there with Ben and/or Jerry.
