Beessential

Approximately two decades ago, I agreed to allow a co-worker to place a beehive on my family farm. Initially, I hadn't anticipated taking responsibility for it, but when life circumstances prevented him from attending to the hive, I unexpectedly became a beekeeper. The intricate science and culture surrounding bees captivated me, leading me to delve into extensive research and attend workshops at The Ohio State University agricultural campus. Beyond the scientific fascination, beekeeping evolved into a cathartic activity, offering me moments for reflection.

As I tended to the bees, I realized the profound interconnectedness between their world and ours—any alterations in our environment reverberate through theirs. Contemplating the foods we consume, the chemicals we use, and their impact on both bees and ourselves sparked an idea: I envisioned creating natural skincare and hair products using honey, beeswax, and other wholesome ingredients beneficial for both us and the environment.

This vision embodies the philosophy behind Beessential. Today, my family and I proudly produce a comprehensive range of natural products—lip balm, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion—dedicated to helping our customers maintain healthy skin and hair the natural way. All our products are proudly made in the USA!
