Stores across San Francisco closed their doors during the city's shelter-in-place orders that begin mid-March. Many chose to board up their storefronts to protect their businesses. Local street artist, fnnch, began painting Honey Bears wearing masks on boarded up storefronts. The response was so positive that he began sending Honey Bear kits to various San Francisco businesses. The street artist is now selling Honey Bear kits for those who wish to participate in the Honey Bear scavenger hunt, alongside other Honey Bear merchandise, such as masks.
