Burt Shavitz: The Iconic Beekeeper behind Burt's Bees

Co-founder of Burt's Bees says he was ousted

Excerpt:

Conventional wisdom suggests the Burt behind Burt's Bees left the company after he became disillusioned with the corporate world in North Carolina and wanted to return to his solitary life in Maine. The reality, Burt Shavitz says, is that he was forced out by co-founder Roxanne Quimby after he had an affair with an employee. So the man on the Burt's Bees logo that promises "Earth-friendly natural personal care products" ended up with 37 acres in Maine, and an undisclosed sum of money.

Comment: Now owned by Clorox. I love their products!
