The annual Häagen-Dazs free scoop promotion is tonight from 4-8 p.m. In an effort to raise awareness about the deaths of honeybee colonies, the Dazs will be giving away scoops of "bee-built" ice cream - meaning any flavor with ingredients that would have required a bee to pollinate a fruit or flower. You can grab your free scoop from locations in Gallery Place, Union Station, Georgetown, Pentagon City and Bethesda. While you wait until 4, check out these ridiculous videos by Häagen-Dazs: Bee Dance Disco and Bee Dance Krumpin'. more ›

According to Häagen-Dazs, today's ice creampocalypse may, in fact, help avert a real apocalypse: the collapse of certain crops worldwide. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., participating HD shops will be giving away 4 oz. scoops of their newest flavor, Vanilla Honey Bee. Today's freebie is meant to raise awareness about the massive die-off of honey bees, which are responsible for the ingredients used in 40 percent of HD's flavors. In addition, when you buy a pint of Vanilla Honey Bee or other "honey bee-dependent flavors," HD will help support research to save the bees. more ›
