Prices are in line with any kind of touristy, souvenir, regional sort of merchandise. For this spring season, there are a lot of hoodies and long-sleeves.

Full season starts in May and I guess the place is a madhouse all summer. Five stars based on how much lighter my wallet was (willingly).

This is run by a couple, who according to the owner Patrick (who was manning the store when we were there) they aren't artists themselves, but they seek out artists from all over. There is a wide selection of art from sun catchers made of wrapped colored stones, and paintings on wood to vegan leather purses and wood turned pens. We stopped here and purchased a painting my partner wanted and then returned to pick up my purse before returning to the shuttle bus. I just couldn't leave without buying it. I'm sure if we had more time, we would have spent more. Bar Harbor has lots of tourist stuff. If you are looking for that special item to take home, check this place out.

While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.

So I was in high school back then and there used to be this store called, The 6T's Shoppe. It was a go-to store for all us 90s kids who posed as hippies haha! Yeah, we were all posers back then. We did everything hippies did, but talk to a 60s hippie and they'll all say...."you guys are all posers" LOL Whatever. I was a 90s hippie kid and I worked in the 6T's shoppe until I left to travel around from concert to concert, music fest to music fest...with other *poser* hippies LOL. That job was amazing! I can't say exactly what I would do before work haha! But it made for a fun shift every time. I would make jewelry all day while at work and actually sell quite a bit of it. Store sold everything we little hippies loved. SO! Whenever I come across stores like that...it warms me little heart! Makes me so happy that they still exist. Walking on Main Street in Bar Harbor...you go into many many many MANY! tourist shops that all sell the exact same thing as the next. Then...you come across Bar Harbor Hemporium. It a great sized store and has all things...hippie. I gotta say, it's kinda odd to see a store like this on Main St there. It's very bougie in Bar Harbor. Broke my heart too that there weren't many going in here either. They were there for BH shirts, Maine shirts and magnets, and everything else Maine this and Maine that. So to go to a store like this that sells like..Dead shirts, tie dyes, hemp jewelry, incense, etc... yeah, a little different from the rest of the strip. Don't get me wrong tho, I am very happy it is there and I SO hope it succeeds. Hippie stores need to thrive and stay alive. It makes us 90s kids very happy and brings us back to a time that so wish had never come to an end. Walking into these stores in a sweet little flashback (not that bad kind some get from Cid! Luckily, Cid was always kind to me :) ) but we get a sweet little flashback to a time where life was BEYOND carefree, where we traveled all over the country for god knows how long, where it seemed like everyone got along, social media, cell phones, tech in general was NOTHING like it is today! Back when...again...social media was nonexistent! and that made life so beautiful. Its like a hug from our past, a nice little hug from our past saying...even tho those years have past, your memories haven't. I know that sounds weird...especially when I am talking about a little ole hippie store in Bar Harbor, but there are places like that for all of us that remind us of the 70s, or the 80s, and yep, the 90s. I love places like that. I love that we still see them. We had a couple in Idaho...but I think we are just down to one now and it's in the mall and well...it kind of doesn't count bc it's nothing as cool at the Hemporium. Girl working was ....hmm, maybe a little sketch, but once we started talking to her, she opened up and talked to us like we had been friends for a MINUTE! So she was cool, I guess. Prices were what you'd expect. Not crazy expensive, but not cheap either. I mean, it may be a hippie store and all, but hippie stores have never been cheap. They are for some reason always so overpriced haha! But yeah, it's still Bar Harbor and I imagine the rents for these stores are NOT cheap. Please go if you are in Bar Harbor! Just check it out! Im sure you will find something. Even if you were a preppy college girl during the 90s I am 100% positive you wore hemp necklaces! haha! Why do I say that? Because I used to make and sell them to college girls back then allllll of the time! When I was home in NY or when I went on the road. This store will have something for all of us who were 90s kids and those of us who rocked some of that classic 90s fashion haha! DAMN! We were kind of the coolest kids haha! Thanks for reading, YelpHemporiumerss! Cheers!

Some of them are pleasant surprises, such as something I had years ago and haven't thought about, or something seasonal or stocked temporarily that I would never have thought to look for. It makes the trips more fun than your average store. Recently I also found a winter hat the same style but much better than one I had passed over at twice the police at Reny's (another great store). So I will obviously keep going to Ocean State when we are in my home town.

My husband and I stumbled across this store and loved it. Many stores in downtown Bar Harbor start to feel the same but The Beehive has a different buzz about it.

I spent most of my time looking at many whimsical products they carry from Fred (aka Genuine Fred) before settling on two potholders with sassy sayings like, "Recipe for Disaster." We also looked at hip crewel pillows, candles and souvenirs. Also, we enjoyed the pretty "Greetings from Acadia Nat'l Park" mural. The employee was friendly and if my suitcase wasn't busting at the seams I would have spent even more money here. This just might "bee" my very favorite store in Bar Harbor.
