Specialty Food Association

Savannah, Ga, January 1st 2022 - This year will mark Savannah Bee Company's 20th year in business producing and selling their specialty honey, honeycomb, and personal care, made with ingredients from the Hive.

"Savannah Bee Company grew out of my passion for bees, beekeeping and honey. Our specialty honey is the culmination of a 35-year search, both locally and around the world for the very best. Our beauty products deliver real benefits derived from treasured honeybee hive ingredients – beeswax, royal jelly, propolis, and honey.” -Ted Dennard, founder, CEO, and head beekeeper

The company plans to celebrate annual milestones throughout the year by launching new products, paying tribute to the communities’ favorite products, and continuing to install beehives in schools worldwide.

The Bee Cause project aims to install observation honeybee hives in schools worldwide. To date, The Bee Cause Project has provided hives in more than 500 schools in 50 states and four countries around the world.

Since its founding in 2002, Savannah Bee Company has expanded to 14 retail locations across the southeastern part of the United States and beyond. Additionally, Savannah Bee Company can be found in Neiman Marcus, Whole Foods, and local stores across the country.
