How We Began
The Little BeeKeeper started in 2016 when a spunky curly haired girl became the youngest certified beekeeper in the state of North Carolina at the age of nine years old. To this day she still holds that title proudly and still loves bees. Our company is a family owned, local business. We are passionate about educating the public about functional natural wellness and the benefits of beekeeping.
We pride ourselves in quality products at competitive prices. We may not be the cheapest, but we also arenβt the most expensive brand in the business. Our standards are set high, so we can always achieve the best products for our customers. Quality is never sacrificed when producing The Little BeeKeeper items. This is our familyβs promise to you.
We are a licensed and insured business. We are inspected and permitted by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. We are ServSafe Certified. We produce and bottle our Elderberry Syrup and Honey Products per North Carolina Regulations at a commercial kitchen that is also inspected and regulated by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Health Department. Our products are lab tested. We take every necessary step to ensure the quality and integrity of every item we make from start to finish.
