In 2011, a group of lifetime friends reunited in the beautiful Southern city of Charleston, SC. Living on the peninsula downtown afforded them a small backyard, which became a place of respite for friends, soon to be friends, and family alike to gather and reflect on the happenings of the day. The small garden in the backyard of that first downtown house became a place of quiet reflection and continued to grow as we cultivated our interests in various backyard hobbies. Over the years, we added muscadine grapes and tomatoes, all sorts of peppers and herbs, annual and perennial flowers, until ultimately, we added two bee hives. The bee hives changed everything; from the moment of their installation, an intense passion for beekeeping and the wonderful honeybee was born.
