Mission We strive to live as bees live: symbiotically with nature and in a manner that contributes positively to the world around us. We continually improve the ways in which we operate for our customers, the environment and each other. We have fun while helping this company grow. Our talented team is of varied backgrounds which helps enrich us all and adds balance so we can take on the diverse work needed to make a great company.
Description You’ll notice our name doesn’t contain the word “honey”—our mission has always been about the bees.
This year, we celebrated our 20th anniversary. From day one to today, everything we do at Savannah Bee Co. is so bees can continue their sacred work of building hives, pollinating flowers, powering our food supply, and spreading beauty. We understand that climate change, pesticides, and other threats to the bees’ fragile ecosystems also affect humanity, and we believe healthy bees make for a healthy planet. Saving the bees remains our highest priority.
Of course, we’re committed to bringing our customers the most delicious honey sourced from beekeepers around the world, most of whom we know by name. These beekeepers share our passion for saving the bees, and each of their carefully-tended hives promotes a healthy bee population and a better environment. More beekeepers means more bees, and we have helped develop and sustain a beekeeping culture in the Caribbean by providing equipment, marketing, and education to aspiring apiarists.
We believe our greatest impact is in education. The Bee Cause Project has provided 800 grants in schools across the country and beyond, introducing children to the science of bees and giving them a hands-on connection between these magnificent pollinators and their own lives. We also encourage higher education in our own community, donating proceeds from our Peace Honey to the Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club, an organization that helps guide local students into college.
With each jar of honey, bee-powered beauty product, and cultivated hive, we’re working to #savethebees!
