DECEMBER 2025 IMPORTANT UPDATE!!
After more than 15 years of business, Beacon Bee continues to flourish, but due to our very busy lives (writing, making art, teaching, tending to the bees), we are downsizing what we will be producing. If there is something you would like to purchase, please do NOT place an order through this website. Instead, email us directly at beaconbee so we can see your order and make sure we have what you need.
We provide free delivery to folks local to Beacon, and promise not to leave your chapped hands high and dry. —With love, Matt, Deb and the bees

Hi! We're Beacon Bee: two artist/beekeepers living in Beacon, half way up the river in New York's Hudson Valley. Deb started beekeeping in 2007, partly out of curiosity and partly out of concern for the fate of pollinators.

Over time, we've developed a range of all-natural beeswax-based skin and hair products using only the finest ingredients, including beeswax taken from our own hives. Beacon Bee Balm is available in a variety of sizes, scents and formulations, and our hand rolled beeswax candles, gift bags and wedding favors are sure to please.

To view our products, follow the Shop link under "Shop and pix". If you are a retailer, please contact us for our wholesale prices.

Finally, more information on all things honeybee can be found by clicking on "Deb's Bee Blog". Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the pictures in the "Pix" folder under "Shop and Pix" for a peek at the life of the hives.
Ok, thanks for visiting!
