“Early on in my beekeeping journey, I became aware that my friends and family were fascinated by my exploits and adored the raw honey from my bees.  But, I wanted to tell them that bees are so much more than honey -  I wanted to convey the message of sustainability, biodiversity, and the power of pollinators. So I created Friends with Honey, and the rest is history.”
