Our main product is a shelf-stable 2oz ginger, turmeric shot with honeybee byproducts sold in a glass container. In an effort to save the bees and restore the environment, a pollinator tree is planted for every bottle sold. Our goal is to plant 100 million trees through QueenBee. Many would call this overly-ambitious but we want to be the pioneers in proving that sustainability and profit are not inversely proportional and that although we recognize the difficulty of the feat, we know its possible with support of partners who understand and resonate with our mission.

So, when I took a trip to see a beekeeper 'cleaning out his hives,' I realized that meant taking piles of dead bees that didn't make it through the winter, and throwing them into the bushes. I still relive this moment sometimes and left that farm with a purpose. To save our bees. I set up an experimental hive in my backyard and used to take honeybee byproducts straight from the hive, and mix it with ginger and turmeric to create an immunity shot, a recipe passed down from my grandmother. I thought what if I commercialize this health and wellness shot providing good-for-you supplements to consumers, and in an effort to save the bees, a pollinator tree is planted for every bottle sold.
