The beekeeping venture started only a few years ago, with candle making following shortly thereafter. This nagging fascination with tiny, auburn bees that fly from flower to flower and inhabit a pretty white box where you find frame after frame of velvety, golden honey enchanted me. A couple of years later, while enjoying some clover honey from our hives and a candle burning in the room, my husband and I thought wouldn’t it be lovely to burn a candle that smelled of honey. This notion would not leave us. Brian studied the process of making candles that burn clean and even, and I studied the terrain the bees work when a honey varietal is harvested. Backyard Bee offers eight mainstay and three seasonal scents. A portion of our sales is given to local beekeepers to help sustain their practices.
SAVE THE BEES
Because we love honey and the honeybees that make it, we give a portion of our sales to local beekeepers to help sustain their practices and to promote the hobby of beekeeping. We are grateful to have learned about beekeeping from the first master beekeeper in South Carolina. We maintain a small number of hives in an apiary on the land my mother grew up; and the same land where my great-grandmother kept her bees.
