The honey here is amazing and the staff is very helpful. The other products and crafts here are first rate as well. Local honey is defined as honey originating from a hive 25-50 miles from your home or with 2-8 miles from the same nectar source for optimal benefits. https://www.locallifesc.com/raw-truth-local-honey/ Save Your Bees imports honey from the Georgetown/Lexington KY area 60-70 miles from the storefront. So in this sense it is local honey in the context that the nectars and pollen are from plants similar to those found in this area. For allergy relief in particular, 50 miles is considered local for honey. Within the 50 mile range, the pollen should be very similar and would be beneficial. The term "local honey" is a bit misleading in this context which is not to say that honey from 60-70 miles away may not still have similar benefits to honey that is truly local as defined by many beekeepers and scientists. T his is just a clarification that is worth noting depending on the benefits that you may hope to gain from buying local honey. Supporting local bee keepers and sustaining the local bee population s is essential to the health of our planet. Pesticides and 5G cell service threatens to wipe out this essential component of our ecosystem so please support your local beekeepers this is simply a little more information to help the consumer to make an informed decision. read more

I love this place!!! Thank you for reminding people that we need bees (and backyard chickens) that without bees, no food. Important for these corporate chemical loving folks around here. read more

These folks are amazing! They helped me become bee free. Plus I kept some of the honey and it was amazing! Now, I need a biscuit or toast to put it on. read more

Save Your Bees is a cute little shop located an the corner of Sutton and Salem, in Anderson Township. Small candles and soaps that are made by local artisans are available. Local honey is also available. During our visit there were several different varieties of honey to try and purchase. My favorite was the lavender honey. It was more floral than other lavender honeys I have tried. Honey is sold in a couple different sized containers. I overheard other guests being told about services to help with beekeeping, and parties. The employee I tried to engage with said "we sell honey," when I asked for more information about the shop. It was very matter of fact. No additional information was given. He was not either of the employees I overheard talking about services or parties. As this was their soft opening, it will be interesting to see how the store and services evolve. It would be interesting if they teamed up with the local schools to teach children about the importance of bees. I look forward to learning more. read more

First let me say that all of the stars here are because I love what this business is doing. Foremost they are bee keepers that house many hives. They will come out and remove bees for free, and rehome them to their colony. I believe the proceeds from the store help to fund all of this. This is so important right now as bees are in danger. Now for the store. It is a small shop that sells honey and many other bee products. The store even has a roomba dressed as a bee. My issue stemmed from a disappointing interaction. I saw a post on their social media that they now had the cutest bee masks, as well as hand sanitizer. They were having a special food truck with a honey burger special the following day and I hoped to attend as well as pickup the masks. I knew these would be super popular so I called the store and asked to reserve 3 sets. I offered to pay over the phone to reserve my items but the lady said it was not necessary, she would just put them aside with my name on them. I again asked to pay because I did not want to miss out, but she was super nice and said dont worry. The next day, the place was so crowded, with the virus and such I decided to come back after the event instead. When I returned to pickup the mask sets later, they had been sold out from under me. They no longer had any left either. The owner basically said she was sorry but didnt know what to tell me. She stated they would most likely get more in, however I dont live super close. I told her how they were to be presents for my elderly parents who live in NY where they really need masks and she really didn't offer a way to make it right so I walked out without purchasing anything. I was so sad because I had really been advertising these guys on my social media and was a big supporter. While I wish them the best with their great bee mission, they clearly didnt care for my business. read more

The owner of this lovely little shop is a true master craftsman. My wife and I love candles, honey, and other things of that sort; we've tried nearly every major retail brand, and several other local/handmade products, but the ones found in this store are the absolute best we've ever encountered by a long shot. Not only that, the owner is warm and friendly, passionate about her craft and always willing to share her knowledge with her patrons. As we were checking out today, she told us that she's "not in this business for the money" -- I think the highest compliment I can give is affirming that statement. She's not in business for the money; she's in business to create, without compromise, the absolute best bee products possible, and she has succeeded in doing just that. read more

This place is a joke! Went in a few days ago and wanted to learn more about the business. The older woman i believe is the owner and seemed offended by my questions. Will never be back and will never recommend the business. Ill be taking my curiosity and my business else where. read more

I absolutely love this place! I've been 3 times this week to pick up unique gifts for friends and family as well as some items for myself. The owners are super helpful and very knowledgeable.

My husband and I came in while visiting our friends. We felt so welcomed by the owners. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable. The soaps smell amazing and the owner took the time to make me some hand sanitizer. Will definitely be back on our next visit to town. read more
