Come visit our NEW STORE! We make all our natural skin products at our workshop in Traverse City, MI and we now have a new storefront in Traverse City. We also sell our products at other local stores and seasonal farmers markets.
Bee Joyful has a storefront! Come check it out, and tell your friends. What an exciting way to celebrate 20 years of Bee Joyful! Bethany started Bee Joyful in 2004 selling beeswax soap and her beekeeping father’s honey at farmers markets. Then in 2024, after 20 years in business we finally opened up our very own storefront. It’s our joy and privilege to offer the community a place to get all our natural beeswax skin products as well as other local handmade finds. The cute shop that once was Country Christmas in Traverse City for almost 40 years is now the home of Bee Joyful. Country Christmas was a special place for our family to shop at and experience the joy of the season. We first visited after getting married and loved it. We got our tree topper and several special “our first Christmas” personalized ornaments. We continued this tradition visiting year after year to collect personalized ornaments for each of our children until it sadly closed. When we learned it was for sale we knew it was where we were meant to BEE. We are thrilled to have this gift shop open to the public again and honor that legacy of spreading joy to others. We have lots of natural honeybee gifts and even a few Christmasy things too. We invite you to stop in and see what the buzz is about. We hope to meet you soon.
