Savannah Bee Company

I had heard great things about the Savannah Bee Company and put it on our to-do list for our one day in Savannah. First of all, they have a sample section where you can try every item in the store. I absolutely love that, because I really love tasting the item before I commit to it. Staff were so nice about it and despite the fact that we tried 4 items, they kept asking if we wanted to try more. We ended up checking our bag home because I got so much honey. They also have a mead / alcohol tasting in the back, and I think you pay for that at at the register. They also have a ton of other bee/honey items in the store. Very cute.

This is the original Savannah bee company store. I own their hot honey sold in Costco but never realized it was from the Savannah bee company until coming here! So cool. The costco price is so much better, of course, but you don't get to try and taste the rest. There is something for everyone here! For those with children, they have a cute little two story bee hive for children to play. It's a tad dark underneath but still cool. Parents will need to bend down to fit. They also have a video screen to see bees in their nest. From lip balms to soaps to whipped honey to mead and everything in between, you will find a useful and tasty souvenir. The honey comb looked really yummy, too. We tasted several honeys for free and hands down. The tupelo was my favorite. Made from a tree found in only 3 marsh lands in the US. Bright and flavorful. The saw palmetto honey (known for its medicinal properties) was my least favorite. I bought the little 3 oz jar for $9.50. It was a little pricey, but the flavor was unique and a useful souvenir. We also bought all their whipped honey varieties because I love it on toast! I've never tried mead before and was excited to see what the taste was like. Water, yeast, and honey. That's it! My sisters and I just wanted a taste, so we shared a flight. The mead cider flight was $17. They do not offer a free tasting and require you to purchase a flight of either their wine or cider. I ranked them: 1. XR Cyser (a delicious not too sweet apple pie flavor) 2. Nectar of the Hops 3. Rhythm and blues 4. Strawberry cream delight 5. Monks mead 6. Dispear (none of us wanted to finish the last sip of this one). I would only choose my top three to try again, and I did buy the XR Cyser because it was so delicious, and I've not had anything like it. $16 for the bottle, and they packed it nicely for travel. When checking out, we learned that the company originally sold in one fish two fish boutique shop down the road in wine bottles because the creator wanted to reduce waste and was picked up by Neiman Marcus then he sold wholesale for a while before this store. They still sell the wine bottle honey! (For a pretty penny). Clean bathroom with the company's honey soaps to use. However, no diaper changing table.

We came for the mead tasting which was a 10/10! Sooz was so well spoken and entertaining! We had to leave right after because of a lunch reservation, but could have spent another hour in there looking at everything in the shop and tasting the different honeys. A must in Savannah!

No, those aren't bottles of wine on the wall, those are bottles of honey. You will absolutely be amazed at all of the varieties of honey they carry. It's overwhelming and awesome. Definitely do a tasting and listen to the story behind each type of honey. It's incredible to experience both the subtle and the bold flavor differences. Then venture around the store for all of the different variety of honey products and honey wines. The store is just another addition to what makes a visit to Savannah awesome!

This little shop has a wide variety of honey & they provide tastings so you can find something you like. They also have seasonal honey that is unique to the area and is more expensive, but it is delicious. They were knowledgeable, friendly and provided good service.

I love this store and all their products. The honey is some of the best I've ever tasted. I appreciate that they have recipes for people to try when using their products. I also appreciate that they have a tasting bar for sampling before considering purchasing. The pricing is on the higher side however the quality is superb.

Upon hearing that they did mead tastings, we set our sights on the Savannah Bee Company, but unfortunately the word tasting means something different here. We expected to go in, maybe see a cool bottle or read an interesting label, taste the mead it belonged to, and buy it if we liked it. You know, the way every "tasting" works at every other place in the world... Nope, instead here it means pay for a pre designated flight, stand at the counter while they go through a lecture on the history of mead, and then decide if you want to buy. Thanks but no thanks. At least the honey was good...

My wife discovered SBC when she was visiting Savannah, and now we have this Earl Grey lip balm that she almost never uses. So I finally asked why and she was like, I like it so much I don't want to run out. At that point, I'm like, every product has a business which usually leads to a website........ that I can order more from. Come to find out they carry a variety of different lip balms and flavors. Right now I'm obsessed with Peach Blossom lip shimmer, but next up, can't wait to try the Sweet Tea! We also ordered some very gentle but nourishing hand wash with honey for one of our guest bathrooms. We will most definitely be ordering in the future! Thank you, Savannah Bee! We appreciate your products

We've been to this location several times over the years and tried all the honey. We've also tried almost (if not all) of the lotions, body butters, etc as well. This was the first time we actually did the mead tasting and it was great! We are huge fans of mead and I'm glad we decided to stick around and do the tasting. We found some new meads we loved and brought several home with us! The staff in this location is always friendly and so knowledgeable. If you have any questions they are quick to help. If you love bees, love honey or just have an interest in either of those then make a stop. You won't regret it!

Cute place. Did a honey tasting while on a food tour. Very cool experience. I just wish I had tried the mead as the flavors seemed very interesting. Oh well... next time I guess.

It's been a few years since I rated Savannah Bee and I have to say, they just keep getting better. I love the Honey with a cause choices, and the new Hot Honey is delightful! I love to put it on my charcuterie boards, my pizza, my breakfast sandwiches, pretty much everywhere. You can sample all the honeys, which have surprisingly different flavors. You can sample the body care products as well. And of course, the mead counter in the back is always a hive of activity. Still a delightful shop and place to pick up a gift or ten.

i loved visiting this shop. Plenty of sample and testers available and they are very helpful and informative with no pressure to answer questions. I somehow came out of there with some fun items. A honeycomb for a charcuterie, some delicious body butter, and a great t-shirt that says save the queen. They have some little photo ops for the kiddos also inside.

Oh if you love honey you gotta go here. A great selection, and they have samples galore which is awesome so you can try before you buy. And holy mama mia did I buy. There was a guy there who was helping with samples, he's like the Wikipedia of honey, he knew all the types of honey and the flavor notes. He made good recommendations when I asked for the top ones - and he was spot-on too. My fave was the Tupelo - but they were running low so I got a couple. The 2nd was the Savannah - so flavorful. Loved the Hot Honey too - - has a really nice kick that hits you in the back of the throat. The Cinnamon Butter / Spread was really good. And the Mexican one - that was flavorful too. So glad I got to try them because I would have bought things that looked appealing but didn't live up to expectations. Another great thing here is you can have items shipped for a flat rate of $12.50. So I loaded up a bunch of honeys and got that deal cuz I can't take them on the plane. If you order online you don't get that shipping deal - it will be by weight. So I also took the liberty to ship a bunch to my BFF Conrad in Michigan. Funny thing was I texted him about this honey place, told him my bill (it was north of $200) and he was like "Hey Dumb-F - - WTF are you going to do with all that honey?". I think he was just irritable after being slammed with 12 inches of snow over the past 2 days. He's kinda right, but what I didn't tell him was I got him quite a few bottles so that's gonna be his problem too. But damn you put that stuff in tea, on toast, biscuits, and I love it on fried chicken or chicken tenders. Hell yeah! And they put it on pizza too now - so that's WTF you can do with all that honey, Conrad. And BTW - you're f*king welcome. Ok. Maybe I went a little overboard, but I don't want to run short on honey when I am home in Austin and regret not buying that extra bottle (or 2) of Tupelo and Savannah. It's GOOD! Why not 5-stars? Well, it's honey, and it's a bit premium priced, but it's still good and it's unique and I do highly recommend this place for the honey-lover in your life. I will probably go back tomorrow to get some shipped to my neighbor. Oh well. Merry Christmas to ya! Savannah's been great!

I love the chapstick here and the mead. I have to say I love the location in Myrtle Beach better than this one for service. The price in general for a sampling is a bit bonkers. I always think if you pay for a sample n then buy tasted items your sample price should be refunded. Just good policy.

Francis Scott Key as an apiarist: Oh say can you Savannah Bee Working by the dawn's early light, What so proudly bees hailed at the flower's last blossoming, This store's broad types from near and far, Including acacia and tupelo a true delight! O'er the blooms bees buzzed, were so gallantly pollinating? And the queen bee's vast lair, the wings fluttering in air, Gave proof through the night that our honey was still there O say, make a $150 purchase and shipping costs they'll waive O'er the land of the bee and of honey accolades do I rave P.S. The acacia honey is just divine drizzled onto some yogurt

3.5 Buzzes. Savannah Bee is right in the heart of the tourist area. It is a great shop but I much prefer Capital Bee. Savannah Bee has a great selection of Honeys in all sizes. Great sauces. Beauty products. Stop by and have a look.

Love coming here to get unique gifts for my friends. I loaded up on both edible honey and some honey locations for my friends for Christmas. Excited to give my post Christmas gifts to my friends this week.

Come in for the honey and stay for the mead tasting. I was expecting great honey and fun bee things, and found a mead tasting bar with amazing bevs. I chose the sparkling flight and it did not disappoint. The drinks were delicious, the ambience was very inviting, but the best part of my visit was Zag. He was incredibly engaging, very knowledgeable, impeccable service and an absolute shining star for the store. My friend and I had a great time and ended up purchasing many bottles. Would go just for the mead tasting. Awesome experience and coming from California - it was cool finding something different that I have not found at home. 10/10!

Lots of amazing honey and bee based products plus honey mead tastings! Loved the mead. Everyone working there was super nice and we learned some cool things about honey! Fun p,ace to visit and shop!

When we went on our mini-moon in Savannah, I felt this place would be an excellent spot to check out, buy some honey, look at some other items that may be noteworthy. I was delighted by Savannah Bee Company's honey selection, in which we purchased a couple of bottles for the sake of spiritual purity. Additionally, we partook in a mead share and picked up a couple of bottles due to our experience. Moreover, they had a terrific book on the history of mead by Fred Minnick, which I also purchased, along with some Royal Jelly Body Butter with Tupelo Honey that changed my life in ways you couldn't imagine. Savannah Bee Company is a glorious store full of glorious goodness and glory.

Just on customer service this place is 5 stars. We visited Savannah earlier in the week and had a really good experience. My children pretty much took turns sampling and Haidyn was extremely patient and had the best attitude in helping them. While the adults did a Meade flight Casper kept them occupied. We were originally just going in to browse but I made sure to buy a few of the products we sampled like the cyser Meade, a delicious honeycomb, some honey sticks and I couldn't pass up the thomme cheese. The only thing I didn't care for was the sparkling blackberry soda. I was expecting more flavor but it pretty much tasted like muddled blackberries with club soda. It wasn't the worst but u was expecting a sweeter flavor. Overall we will be back the next time we stop in Savannah

The Mead Tasting was so much fun and educational. The two hosts were informative and great to talk to. We also did the honey tasting, which was delicious and informative--so many unique gift ideas. I live here in Savannah, and I love to take my friends that visit me. My friend enjoyed her Savannah Bee excursion! I recommend a visit and tasting!

One of the best store in Savannah. A must see! I always find something whether it's a gift for someone or something for myself. Highly recommend!

They have the BEST popsicles and the chapstick is super smooth and doesn't dry out your lips afterward

This honey is the best tasting honey we have ever had. Smooth and pours beautifully. We bought the Angels Envy & Acacia in the store. I just got home from vacation and quickly ordered more. I think this would be an amazing gift as well.

I'd be lying if I told you this place wasn't pricey. But honestly their hot sauce is our favorite and they're whipped honey and chocolate my son eats every day. The honeys and sauces are pricier than in a supermarket but you're getting raw ingredients. The quality makes the price tag worth it in my opinion.

In January 2024 I ordered 8 honey almond lip balm. All were unusable because the lip balm fell apart in chunks. Still waiting for a response from Savannah Bee Co.

Very cute place in the heart of Savannah. I felt like I was supporting you he bees just coming here. There's even a little sign by the checkout line where you can adopt a bee and get a cute little diploma in return. This place is ripe with great gift ideas too. We ended up getting their mead, some of the cutest chocolates you'll ever see, chapsticks, honeycomb, a tote bag (that came in handy during our Savannah shopping spree) and of course a ton of different varieties of honey. I had never even heard of whipped honey until I came to this place. I've only tried the chocolate one so far and it was phenomenal. Very happy we stopped in here.

It has amazing honey especially the hot honey way better than mikes hot honey and the honey combs are really good also its been a few days and we finished so much!

i did the honey tasting here. idk how im supposed to go back to poor people peasant honey after this

I am a bee keeper and am always excited to come to Savannah Bee Company; however, this will be my last time. The possible day manager, female with dark hair, was the rudest and most passive aggressive person I have ever encountered at this location. The staff seemed to follow suit and pulled from her energy as they all seemed on edge. This is a completely different atmosphere than I have encountered several times in the past with my most recent experience being only 3 months ago. Bee keeping is a beautiful livelihood and I do not believe this person and/or this location captures the beauty of being an apiarist. Also, my parents are veterans and she was reluctant to give the military discount, despite them having valid military IDs. She made several snide remarks about them being veterans and giving a discount, not somewhere I wish continue supporting.

One of the cutest little shops on Broughton St in Savannah. I went a little crazy buying one of everything. The vibe of the shop is very warm and welcoming. You can pour your own bottle of Savannah honey. There is a tester for every item. There is a tasting of the raw hive honey's, and you can even buy a piece of hive and serve on a charcuterie board. They paired the hive honey with blue cheese and sliced green apple. I have to go back for a wooden board that they sell, it doesn't Kay flat on the table, but is curved so the honey won't drip off, I've never seen a board like this... I've decided I need it in my life!!! I'll be back soon, it's a perfect place to buy a gift for someone that has everything. Because they may have a piece of the pie, I bet they don't have a piece of a bee hive!!! Prices were reasonable in my opinion considering how unique the store is.

Who knew you could get mead flights?! Not me! We have a Savannah Bee Company in Atlanta and I knew they had mead, but I never realized I could stop in and taste some flights. And of course, when in Savannah... must stop in to taste the Savannah meads! It was great to try all the meads with a knowledgeable explanation of each mead. A flight of 6 mead tastings for $10 is a great deal! I don't think I tasted a bad one! One complaint is that I definitely heard the bartender repeat the same spiel for each tasting at the bar. Either give it to me all at once in a time slot with fellow mead drinkers... or I'm not sure. But at the same time, I preferred not having to wait for a time slot to drink my flight. Pretty convenient! There's also plenty of honey products in the store for purchase. May stop in again next time in Savannah to see if there are new meads available to try!

Sponsored by The Wicker Man, the Bee Company allows you to Bee yourself, to Bee at peace, and to Bee responsible but also Bee daring and edgy and courageous. Basically, to Bee all you can Bee. It's hard not to love the Savannah Bee Company, a fun place for anyone to stop in terms of Honey tasting and very unique and interesting products which you wouldn't really expect to see here in Savannah, or anywhere for that matter. I didn't buy anything, but I appreciated the store a lot, and we'll definitely come back here again when I'm in town with the friends that dragged us in here.

The cutest local shop! I could have spent much longer in there. And you could find gifts for anyone on your list. They have all kinds of honey, mead tasting, local products, and friendly staff.

I love Savannah bee. Anytime I am near one I stock up on the chapstick and honey. This is a wonderful company and I am so happy to see it expanding.

The prices are on the higher end, with mead bottles surpassing $40 and many items lacking clear pricing. My experience with their raw honeycomb was particularly disheartening; not only did it taste off, but after consulting with a friend who is an expert in honey production, it was confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with it. This was especially frustrating considering I paid $20 for it, expecting quality that was simply not there. Pure honey should have a distinct aroma and flavor that reflects its floral source, but this was lacking. Instead of the sweet, nuanced flavors characteristic of high-quality honey, what I got was a product that did not meet these basic criteria for good honey. I believe in paying for quality, but the products should justify their cost. Unfortunately, this was not the case, leading me to dispose of the product. While the staff were pleasant and the honey mead tasting enjoyable, the $25 fee felt excessive, as did the pricing for bottles. Despite these experiences, I appreciate the importance of transparent pricing. Regrettably, due to the disparity between cost and quality, I do not plan to return.

Wonderful store with huge range of honey based products. They will let you sample the different honeys and body products. We chose the soirwood honey which is a local favorite. Definitely buy the pump to make it easier to serve. We also love their body butter and bought the original which has a blackberry scent. This is a rich and creamy formula that makes your skin so soft. They also sell a selection of mead. You can do a tasting for $12 but we didn't have time so bought some to try at home. This shop is a wonderful way to bring back some of the best that Savannah has to offer.

It was so beautiful in there we got to taste different flavors of honey. Learn about how they are made the flowers that feed the bees. You could buy honeycombs They way they bottle them to look like liquor bottles were so cute. They sell beehive body care. They had a mead bar. They have honey flavored lip balm. I loved that they had a bee cause project to help the youth understand engage and learn from honeybees. It is a great place to buy your honey and share with your children. I definitely recommend a visit there.

A must visit when in Savannah. This was my second time here within the last decade and still left a lasting positive impression. The rep who offered honey testing was super friendly. She even offered to give my child a honey stick (and subtlety asked me first) before offering it to her, which was greatly appreciated! It was very thoughtful and sweet. We stocked up on our favorite Tupelo honey that is hard to find in the north. We purchased the largest one bottle that was 80oz for $136. We also purchased the lemon honey whip, the spearmint salve, and some saw palmetto honey. So happy with our purchases and souvenirs from Georgia!! I didn't realize til I left this location that there is even a Tupelo Gold Reserve which is $$$$. It is the honey located closest to the queen bee. A 20oz medium size bottle is $120+, it is incredibly sweet and reminded me of clover honey. I actually preferred regular Tupelo. However, not usually an orange blossom fan, I thought the limited edition Orange Blossom Gold was incredible! So light and refreshing. It's like the champagne of honey and coincidentally the gold edition bottles only come in the flute size. I was surprised there was even a small play hut for kids at this locations

Really fun place to sample any and all honey related goods! Great stop for families and adult tourist groups alike. It met all my expectations and then some! I come from a place where honey really isn't that big so it blew my mind when I walked into Savannah Bee Co and saw all the different flavor and texture variations of honey. I loved how many options there were to sample and how they made little snack bites to show you how to best arrange honey topped snacks at home. The apple slices with gorgonzola and tupelo honey were my favorite. My two favorite honey samples where the regular whipped honey and the tupelo honey. This shop not only sells large, beautiful wine looking bottles of honey but also gift size minis, coffee bags, beers, candles, mugs, koozies, lotions and a full line of beauty and skin products. The coffee beans are a local roast that has Savannah Bee Co honey mixed in! I also got to do a mead tasting in the back area for only $10. The meads were all very different from each other and the bartender was well educated on each variety. I really enjoyed the tasting! They have plenty of great staff here, awesome gifts, tasty treats, a kiddie playground to give the adults a breathe while they shop/taste, and it's located right on the main strip in downtown Savannah. I'd recommend parking far and walking as the stroll is beautiful and parking in downtown is going to be more crowded and pricey than just walking a few blocks down the roads.

What a wonderful store!! Went in because I've used their products for years and love them. The inside is visually beautiful and the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. You can sample the honest and beauty products and learn about Mead and taste it as well. I love this place!

I love this adorable location so much! I didn't have a lot of room in my carry-on while traveling, but still got some wonderful beeswax salve that's perfect for saving my hands from the the winter dryness. They have most delicious honey, too!

I Love Honey, I Love Mead, Bee Company Has What You Need! SITREP I came, I saw, I conquered my fear of bees! THE SETUP First Off: BEES. Bees are what make the world turn round and round, season after season, making sure we have gardens, and crops, and other necessary foodstuffs we need to eat. Second Off: MEAD. One of my favorite alcohols, AND made from honey. So gooood. So tasty. So refreshing. SAVANNAH BEE COMPANY ("BEECO.") BeeCo has thought of just about everything we (short of being a beekeeper ourselves) could possibly want, and interact with in terms of bees, and bee products, and bee information, etc. etc. * Books Full of Knowledge The Beekeeper's Bible is available here.

Savannah Bee Company has a great variety of honey based products and also the Meade tasting was a fun adventure. This is the one place from my latest trip that I will definitely return to in Savannah. This shop is located on West Broughton Street along with other trendy stores but you will spot it for the honeycomb design on the front door. I met a group for the Meade tasting and the server was entertaining and really knew her products. Who knew Meade is gluten free? She served us a couple extra samples and I found one I really liked, which was Rhythm & Blues They had a special if you purchased three bottles. Next I went over to the honey tasting. They had small samples of fruit and nuts which you could try alongside different varieties of honey. I buy local honey at home but found some interesting varieties and took home some of their products. I was familiar with their bath products because years ago they sold them at the national chain, Bath and Body Works stores, however the store really had a wider variety and new products I have never seen before. I did not find this place touristy however you will find some of the Savannah Bee products in other shops in town. This store had unique quality products not cheap t-shirts and trinkets. I think this place would appeal to the culinary crowd, individuals who like wine tasting and anyone interested in skin care products, but most of all to me.

If you are visiting Savannah this is a must stop. We started out with a flight of mead. Wine made with honey vs grapes. We are familiar with mead and actually were surprised they carried several of our favorite small brands from our local area in Colorado. But we were there to sample their local mead and fell love with XR Cyser, Pollen- Nation and the Bananas Foster which is much more of a desert wine but of so tasty. The prices for wine however were pretty pricey at this location. We bought them out of convenience but note that they are about double of what you will pay at a liquor store... "IF" you can find one that carries it. Be prepared to buy some honey too. It is THAT good. The whipped lemon and whipped chocolate were my favorites. I bought the small sample pack of 4 and let me tell you they did not make it home. During vacation we ate them up. The whipped chocolate on fresh strawberries was the bomb! The the whipped lemon drizzled over fresh black berries was also delicious. Before we left I was told they have a new location in Boulder so I can now purchase more as gifts and claim it made it back from Savannah .

"God Save the Queen" I would say that Savannah Bee Company is the place to go for all your bee property management needs, but curiously they don't appear to have rented out any of the available rooms inside the skep located near the side wall of the store. Right now it just seems to be attracting kids swarming in and around it like...ahem...bees to honey, so perhaps an ad like this could generate some buzz and help get the rooms filled: Tenants needed for 100,000-room, wax-celled dwelling for period of no longer than two years, with likely eviction in fall month. Rooms are hexagonal; plan your furniture accordingly. Must be able to tolerate high volumes of clutter in the form of larvae and approximately 1500 eggs a day. Boxes of propolis are conveniently stored on site for dwelling repairs. High risk of being attacked. But even if you are not a future bee tenant, there are still many other reasons to strap on those aviator goggles and fly in to check out the rest of the area surrounding the skep. "But Rabbit, I wasn't going to eat it. I was just going to taste it." (Winnie the Pooh) BEE-HOLD... Near the sunlight (front entrance), a honey sampling bar will crystallize before you. Yes, the liquid gold may have been stolen from one of your kin, but please don't brood, seethe with venom, or begrudge your companion drones or workers their tastings. If the sampling spoons, fresh apple slices, or cheese chunks are too heavy for you to hold with your itty bitty bee legs, the bee-aming store associates can probably spread the honey on them for you. Though you are already an expert on flowers, trees, and pollen, those same friendly store associates will also fill in any holes in your expertise, educating you on the background of each type of honey (where it was harvested, flavor profile, etc...) and with tips on how to help save your species. If you're like me, you'll be bee-dazzled by the Winter White. As others have mentioned, this whipped honey really does look a bit like frosting, but tastes more refined with a silky, smooth texture (it could easily be renamed Whoopah Whipped Winter Wonderland White). This wildflower honey from the northern Rocky Mountains is considered an everyday honey...and you will want to use it every day...but it is fit for the likes of Queen Bee Elizabeth I (ruler of the golden honey age of England). It is exceptionally spreadable (I spread it over peanut butter toast) and sweet in a pure, non-cloying way that would make Queen Bee Antoinette exclaim, "Let them eat honey!" I routinely order it online to be sent to my home, and if I had to pick only one honey to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it. Find me with my paw dipped in a jar all day long...but with pants on. Make sure to also sample the artisanal Tupelo... a little ray of sunshine in a bottle. Its buttery undertones make it perfect for drizzling over Burrata spread on crackers. If you have a honey who tries to steal your treat away, take care not to "slap 'n' decap" him, Queen Bee Catherine the Great style. You'll also lose your head like Queen Bee Anne Boleyn when you take a lick of the magical Acacia honey, which hails from the highlands of Hungary. This rare, limited-supply honey has a light, flavorful, vanilla taste that works well added to tea (it doesn't overpower the taste of the tea) or over ice cream. It is available in several sizes, but the 20oz and 80oz come in a stunning bottle that you will either want to leave out on your counter...or stick a funnel in and chug! "Honey, I Am Going to My Grave with My Eyelashes and My Makeup On." (Tammy Faye Bakker) BEE-AUTIFY... When you've had your fill of honey tasting, you'll want to bee-line it over to the hand, lip and face care section to smell and try the soaps and lotions. We spent so much time tasting honey that we didn't linger long in this section, but they also carry shampoos, conditioners, lip balms, and cleansers. "To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few." (Emily Dickinson) BEE-LIEVE that you can help save the bees! The employees at the store offer a wealth of information on how you can do your part to give bees a helping leg. Ask them about planting a bee-friendly garden with herbs like lavender, sage, and thyme or with annuals like Sunflowers, Zinnias, and Alyssum. BEE sure to make Savannah Bee Company one of your stops when wandering around Broughton Street (along with Paris Market). It's fun for everyone from single bees to whole colonies! Support your local beekeepers! The Nosy Norwegian ~Sniffing out sweet, sticky deals so you don't have to.

A nice, big store with a wide variety of honey based products. Helpful and well-informed employees. I bought a lavender honey lip balm as a little gift and some body lotion for myself. I've been really enjoying using the lotion daily. Very hydrating and the smell of the honey (I got the original blend) is very appealing.

I absolutely loved this store. We went in here while visiting Savannah and walking down Broughton Street. Its a neat looking store with samples to try and employees with friendly faces and smiles. Maybe its working for Savannah Bee, maybe it's just that Georgia southern charm you hear about. If you like honey they have everything honey. Honey for tea, honey for deserts, honey for cheese, honeycomb, honey soaps, lotions, lip balm and even Mead. My favorite skin item has to be the body butter, or maybe the beeswax salve? Both of them are sure to clear up any dry looking hands. As I was walking around I saw what appeared to be beer tasting in the back and it turns out they have Mead tasting here - mead is alcohol made from honey (never knew this nor heard of it before). And it was my lucky day. Black Friday special was 50% off. Yes please!!! It was a nice assortment of meads to taste. They were all yummy in their own way. We couldn't decide on the X R Cyser (which tastes like Apple pie in a glass) or the Tupelo one which first tastes like honey then each taste after has a different lingering taste. I got the bananas foster for my neighbor. We picked the X R Cyser and the banana fosters and went to pay. Well lucky me again the lady tells me if we buy 3 bottles we get 10% off entire purchase. So we got the Tupelo one. They have another store on River Street but after going in this one I didn't even go into their River St store. Buy the Tupelo honey - its more money than the others but it is so delectable you wont regret it.

I'm not going to lie, this was at the top of my list to visit while in Savannah. I tried a few honey samples and they were delicious. I like that you can buy jars in various sizes, I left with a 3 oz of the tupelo, savannah and lavender. I also got a glass (just bee cause) and lip balm. In the back of the store you can do a mead tasting. Tastings are $10 but my tasting was free since it was my bachelorette party. We tried a total of six meads, the group favorites were the Pollen-Nation, Mystic Currants and XR Cyser. There are bottles available to purchase too.
