Our story

The beekeeper and the chef.

Three Generation Bee beekeepers in protective suits lifting a frame of bees at the family apiary

Michael keeps the hives. Harry, a professional chef, creates our handcrafted honey in a kitchen. When Harry is not in the kitchen, you will find him in the lab, blending honey, beeswax, and pollen from our family operation with all natural ingredients. Every batch is small, and we oversee every step from hive to jar.

Hive to Table

The honey that started it all.

Raw, unfiltered honey from Michael's hives, poured into glass. The same jars that inspired the skincare.
