Our Story

Standing on Sunset Boulevard in Southern California, a dear friend asked Alli if there was anything she could be doing, what would it be? Her response was supporting the bees. She went on to explain her love for bees and how important they are to the environment. It was much to her surprise, that once she finished sharing her passion with her friend, he pointed out that a bee had landed on her hand and had been sitting there the entire time. That was the sign that she needed. A few years passed with much talk but no action in getting a beehive. In 2022 Alli and Justin McNeely were married, and Justin knew about this story and took it upon himself to make it a reality. He pushed the two of them forward, jumping in with both feet and ordering their first hive!  He began researching everything there is to know about them. The hive flourished, so much so they were able to harvest the very first fall and it was the most amazing honey they had ever tasted. It was then that they decided that it was their mission together to Save the Bees, to grow awareness of bees, to make the most amazing honey and products, to focus on the local communities and to provide access and the health benefits that come from eating local honey, to their neighboring communities. With a significant investment they are taking their journey to the next level and have started selling their honey. Justin wanted to make sure that everyone knows he has been eating honey for 40+ years and he eats so much honey that he has been named Pooh-Bear… and the bees get a little upset when they see him coming to take some of their honey.

 

About Us

Our Mission

Our honey is sold like fine wines. To identify our honey, there will be a harvest location, a time of year, a street name, and a zip code. This means that we will run out of certain batches, and they won’t ever be repeatable. This also means that you can order by the nearest zip code to your home address and get the health benefits from eating honey that has pollen from the air you breath! It’s like eating your medicine.
We have hives all over the community. If you are interested in allowing us to put a hive on your property, please give us a shout and let us know. There are so many benefits for your garden and neighbors garden, by homing bees on your property. You can increase crop production and garden growth up to 30% by having a beehive nearby. You can’t beat that! Plus you are saving the world one bee at a time.
