Hi, we're the sisters behind Angry Bees 🐝
It started at a Shopify entrepreneurship workshop when someone asked us: what could you sell? We went home, looked around, and the answer was obvious — Dad had hives full of honey and no idea what to do with it. So we said, let's sell it. And that's how Angry Bees was born.
Our bees, our business
Dad learned beekeeping from our grandpa — a science teacher who loved nature and was always trying something new. Grandpa's gone now, but the hives are still going strong. We currently have 7 hives, and this past winter all of them survived, which is a really big deal. Some winters we've lost bees to the cold or disease, and it genuinely hurts when that happens. We love our bees.
Dad takes care of the hives. We take care of everything else — talking to customers, packing orders, doing craft fairs and markets. We've been at this for 8 years now, and we sell out every single year. We're also working toward selling bees one day!
Why our honey is special
We harvest multiple times throughout the season, and each harvest tastes different — because the flowers are different. Early spring honey is light and floral. By late summer, when the goldenrod and milkweed are blooming, it gets richer and darker. You can even see the difference in colour. Every jar is a little different, and that's exactly what makes it worth coming back for.
Oh, and the name?
Angry Birds was huge when we started. Angry Bees made us laugh. Our bees are actually very calm — but the name stuck, and now so have our customers. 😄
Thanks for supporting our store. It means more than you know. 🍯
