Happy New Year - Blogging is on my new year to do list

New Year.

New products.

New honey varieties.

New announcements and happenings.

Blogging! I am gong to do my best to try and do weekly blogs about something! The store. The bees. The pollinators. The flowers. Something.

Perhaps, I will share with you my excitement over a new shipment of Honey Spoons for your tea or coffee. You can even add one to a cup of hot water. They come in many varieties; tupelo honey, orange blossom and lemon, to name a few of the spoons. I can’t forget to mention the Gourmet Lollipops that accompany the honey spoons. There is bee pollen and honey, raspberry & lime, even coconut ginger. Did you know there are real pieces of ginger, raspberry or bee pollen in those lollipops!? Yum, that’s for sure, and they go quick!

Maybe, I will let you know about the Walnut Honey that is to die for!! Yes, it sold out but I was sure to restock quickly. This California wildflower honey infused with walnuts is absolutely delicious on a piece of sharp cheese or a slice of honey crisp apple. Really though, I want to let you know that I have secured some Lemon Infused Creamed Honey from the same company. For all you lemon lovers, this is for you!

If you have not heard, however, the hard honey candies are in stock. They arrived all the way from Bavaria and I have placed them in some cute tins and jars for your enjoyment. These simple candies made from sugar, glucose syrup and honey are a must for dry mouths and scratchy throats. They are a great honey lozenge. They can even be dropped in your tea for a sweetener. I love the old fashion sanded coating. Keep a tin of these hard candies in your car, purse or at your desk and enjoy this simple, long-lasting hard candy.

Honey Bee Medallions.  A hard, honey candy to soothe a scratchy throat and quench a dry mouth.

One year already! Come celebrate with me.

It was just a quick, short year ago that I was sitting in traffic daydreaming about what was always on my mind……having my own place to melt beeswax, share my passion for bees and honey and sell my creations. I happen to look over to my right while waiting for the light to change and there was a FOR RENT sign on this cute little white house in the heart of the Village of Webster.

What? Could it bee?

No more packing and unpacking crates and totes, no more multiple trips up and down the stairs and packing the car the morning of a show, because you can’t leave beeswax or honey in the car - might be to cold for the honey or too warm for the beeswax. No more melted wax in random places of the kitchen, like the counter, floor, or stove top. Yes, my husband could have the kitchen table back, instead of just his spot. Most of all, I could talk about bees, share my passion and relay the importance of bees to adults and kids of all ages. I could even make a room just for the kids to take in all things bee, and let the grownups take in all the Handcrafted Goodness of the Hive.

Yes, it was.

I had found that spot by chance and I have been making it work ever since. Each month has been change and growth. I am happy to have this opportunity to be your stop for local honey and handcrafted beeswax products. Including skincare, pet products, candles, beeswax home decor, honey from across the country, gift giving items, natural wellness and select lines of hemp CBD wellness items.

For all the local folks that would like to celebrate with me stop in the store at 27 North Ave, Webster to enter your name for a chance to WIN my GIVEAWAY basket (worth $165) full of goodies!!! Look through the photos here to see the basket. Next time you are in the store to restock your honey, skincare or CBD products fill out an ENTRY CARD and pop it in the cute mailbox by the door on your way out!

The GIVEAWAY runs through December 4th. Drawing in store on December 5th.

Thank you everyone for helping to make this first year a success.
