Hi there! I was a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and when my husband decided to become a beekeeper I thought, “Yeah right.” It turns out through his passion I found mine. I love making candles and cosmetics. We took some time off after covid. Now that the kids are older, they’re able to help a lot more and it’s truly a family company. I’d love to hear what you think.

Thanks, Kiley

School Time

Summer is sadly almost over for the school kids. My girls will be going to school in a couple weeks which means I’ll have a quiet house for a couple hours and will get back to my products.

I look at my blocks of beeswax some days and miss the smells and cool candles. I can’t wait to get back to it.

Check back in a few weeks to see what new things I’ll have. I can’t wait. I will miss my girls and summer though. I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather.

The Curious Case of Honey Bee Castes February 1, 2025

Entomology 101 was required for my agronomy degree.

Although I grew up around honey […]
