Hellooo!!! 🐝🍯

We are Sotiris and Ria!!!

We travel around Greece so that we can have different kinds of honey, get to know the beauty of our land and bring a little of the taste of every region to your jar! Because every place has its own flowers, its own aromas and, of course, its own special honey!

Our story starts with our love for bees and beekeeping. Sotiris is closer to the hives, looks after our little bees and deals with all the magic, and the hard work, behind every drop of honey. And I, Ria, have taken it upon myself to give this love a slightly more… creative dimension!

Somewhere between hives, honey and countless chores, I discovered how many beautiful things we can create with the gifts of the bee!

So we started making, with our own hands, candles from natural beeswax, scented melts, lip balms, salves and various other small creations. And because creativity never stops, we added our honey flavours to the family! Honey with hazelnut, cocoa, fruit and other mouth-watering combinations, for those who love honey a little… differently!

We are not just two people who sell honey. We are two people who love what they do, experiment, test, and often fill the workshop with ideas, materials and scents! (And yes, we usually have more ideas than we have time to make! 😂)

Our goal is to offer you products with passion, care and personal work behind them. From the hive to the final product, we want you to know what you are holding in your hands and who is behind it.

And somehow, between trips, little bees, honey, candles, tests and endless creations, our own little world slowly grows!

We are glad you are part of it too! ❤️

We are Sotiris and Ria and we welcome you to our world!

🐝 With lots of love… and always a bee-ish mood! 🍯
