Portland Bee Balm

With a strong belief that the world needs more beekeepers, and after starting to keep bees first hand, co-founders Brad and Anika set out to create Portland Bee Balm.

“Beekeeping creates a powerful link between the keeper and their natural environment. Once you start keeping bees you will become keenly aware of the first blooms of spring, the last of fall, and every change in between.” –Brad Swift.

With this in mind, Portland Bee Balm creates their lip balms with wax from northwest Oregon hives and just a few other carefully sourced organic and local ingredients, displayed in lovingly handcrafted cases.
