About Beekeeper's Naturals

Here’s a small business that’s been generating a lot of buzz. Beekeeper’s Naturals‘ mission is to hold the medicine cabinet to a higher standard, and this philosophy underpins everything they do. From single bottles of throat spray, to the antioxidant-packed ‘Hive’ travel kit, products from Beekeepers Naturals help us to stay happy and healthy whether we’re on adventurous travels or spending an average day at home. Some have more than 300 – count ‘em, 300! – beneficial compounds.

Why We Love Them

And here’s the sting in the tail: we can improve our mental and physical fitness while also protecting the planet’s vital bee population. That’s what we call a bee-autiful combination (yes, we had to).

Origin Story

Founder Carly Stein started her career at a hedge fund and then moved to Goldman Sachs – but her passion had always been wellness, and in particular the importance of bringing ethically made, healing products to a mainstream audience. The inspiration for Beekeeper’s Naturals occurred when she contracted tonsillitis studying in Italy as a college student. She faced the prospect of returning to Canada for emergency surgery (she couldn’t use antibiotics due to an autoimmune condition), but was fortunate enough to be offered a bottle of propolis – a bee-powered ingredient – by a corner pharmacist. Carly never lost sight of this dream, and soon started beekeeping – even while working in finance as her day job. Setting up Beekeeper’s Naturals has enabled her to marry the two worlds of science and nature to deliver remedies from sources that can be trusted.

The TL;DR

  • Great for wellness – whether we’re looking for brain fuel, dietary supplements, deep sleep, more energy, or just general immune support
  • All natural ingredients – such as hemp extract, raw honey and royal jelly; unlike over-the-counter remedies which are often soaked in artificial agents
  • 10% of profits from apparel line donated to support leading bee research charities

The Science & The Soul

The Science

Bee pollen is rich in B vitamins, minerals, free forming amino acids, and antioxidants. Buckwheat honey is one of the darkest, most antioxidant rich honeys on the planet, with therapeutic benefits rivalling those of manuka honey. 

Products from Beekeeper’s Naturals are great not just for our mental clarity, our workouts, our skin, our immune system, our energy levels – but also for our environment. Carly does everything she can to protect the richness and vibrancy of our world – now that’s science with a purpose! The key point is – these things should not be rare, illusive or unusual; they should be a part of everyday living. That’s why Beekeeper’s Naturals seeks to ‘make healthy your new norm’.

The Soul

Bees are not only amazing animals, but a vital resource for the planet and its other inhabitants.Bees are crucial to biodiversity and foods such as apples, blueberries and even chocolate – but many species are at risk of extinction. With 35% of global food and 80% of plant life dependent on insect pollination, you would think that we would treat these tiny warriors with more deference. Despite the amazing uses and benefits of bee-produced products and ingredients, global bee populations are threatened by pesticides like neonicotinoids and climate change.

Beekeeper's Naturals is firmly dedicated to sustainable beekeeping, with organic apiaries housing natural bees. In order to support pollinator protection and raise awareness, they have partnered with the leading bee-search institutions, and donate 10% of apparel profits to non-profit groups dedicated to increasing bee populations.
