Lavish Beekeeper Welcome to my shimmering, scandalously sweet world of bees and beauty.

We love the Honey Scum, which I prefer calling the Cream Top of honey. It’s the “Beekeepers Treat”… would you buy a jar with it?

Happy Bee Day! Celebrating my ladies here and in the wild.

There is something rather magical about letting the bees do exactly as they please… and then quietly stepping aside to admire their handiwork.

A little whisper of a lost art has found its way into our hives at Beaumiel. We’ve nestled in the most darling mini square frames, nothing but pure wood, inviting our bees to draw their comb freely, instinctively, exquisitely… just as nature intended.

And what they create… oh, it’s quite something.

Each tiny frame becomes its own jewel box: delicate, golden comb brimming with our raw, divine honey. Untouched by plastic, unbothered by intervention—just bees, bloom, and time.

Soon, you’ll be able to hold one in your hands. A perfect little window into the hive… indulgent, glistening, and entirely alive with the poetry of the season.

Once we know the approximate ready date, we will invite you to be the first to grab one! Stay tuned.

Spring, my favorite kind of chaos…

Absolute frenzy. The Queen is laying with abandon, the population is booming, and before you know it, your bees are throwing a rather dramatic house party… and considering moving out. (Yes, swarming. The ultimate mic drop.)

This is why spring inspections are not just important, they’re everything.

We open the hives, frame by frame, reading their story.
Are they running out of space?
Are they preparing swarm cells?
Do they need a little more room, a little more air, a little more… luxury?

Because here’s the thing about Beaumiel… we don’t just keep bees.
We dote on them.

We obsess (lovingly).
We anticipate.
We adjust their living quarters like tiny, golden real estate developers…making sure every hive is balanced, abundant, and thriving.

And in return?
They gift us something extraordinary.

Honey that is luminous, complex, and impossibly beautiful, each jar a reflection of care, patience, and the quiet poetry of a well-tended hive.

This is not mass-produced honey.
This is honey with a heartbeat.

Some moments feel quietly impossible… until they aren’t.

What began as a simple, deeply personal idea, to create beautiful honey in an equally beautiful jar, has now been recognized by a prestigious panel of judges for the Neographics 2026 competition!

I am incredibly honored to share that my Beaumiel honey jar label has been awarded Best of Category and a Franklin Award (Tags & Labels).

For such a young, little honey company, one built quite literally from the ground up, hive by hive, this feels especially meaningful.

But what makes this moment truly special is the story held within the label itself.

Designed by my dear friend Jennifer Kozak and printed by Joe Wagner and the team at Schmitz Press, every detail was created to honor the women who shaped me:

• A crown bearing our family name, a quiet nod to my grandmother
• Ornate violets, beloved by both my grandmother and my late mother
• A design meant not just to adorn a jar, but to carry legacy, memory, and love

To see something so personal recognized among the very best in the industry is… extraordinary.

And now, this little jar, born from bees, patience, and a great deal of heart, moves on to a national stage.

Grateful. Humbled. And just getting started

It looks like a scene from a beekeeper’s fever dream… a cloud of bees, dancing in the air as if preparing for a grand departure. But look closer….this is not a swarm.

This is a nursery unveiling itself.

Thousands of freshly emerged young bees, taking their very first flights. Orientation flights, to be precise, tiny aviators hovering in soft figure eights just in front of the hive, learning the coordinates of home. Every loop, every hover, a quiet act of memory-making.

Yes, it’s a little intimidating. There are so many of them. But this is spring in full voice.

The Queen, in her tireless elegance, is laying with abandon now. The hive is building, swelling, preparing… but not quite ready to swarm. Not yet.

For now, it’s simply a moment of becoming.

A gentle reminder that what may look like chaos… is often just growth, unfolding beautifully.

There are moments in this journey that feel quietly triumphant… and this is one of them.

To see our little jar, the one that began as a vision with paper swatches, sketches, and font examples, recognized as a finalist for the Neographics 2026 Best Of category feels nothing short of extraordinary.

Every detail was considered.
The weight of the paper in hand.
The softness of its texture.
The way the ink settles, ever so elegantly, into its fibers.
The balance between restraint and indulgence, much like the honey it holds within.

Because for us, it was never just a label.
It was a promise… that what you hold in your hands is as thoughtful, as pure, and as quietly luxurious as what’s inside.

To our brilliant collaborators ( and ), our meticulous printers, and the bees (always the bees)… thank you.

And to this little jar, how beautifully you’ve carried our story.

First splits of the season! A little early for us beekeepers… but swarm season is officially here in Southern Maryland.




03/22/2026

There’s a certain unmistakable swagger to them…
broad, slow, almost indulgent in their wandering…drones, strolling across the frame as if they own the place.

And just like that… we know.
Swarm season has arrived. At least here in Southern Maryland.

When the drones begin to appear in earnest, it’s the hive’s quiet declaration that it is ready to multiply. To stretch, to divide, to send a queen out into the world with a cloud of loyal followers in tow. Romantic, yes… but for the beekeeper, a gentle warning wrapped in velvet.

Because if we don’t intervene, if we don’t thoughtfully split our hives and give them room to grow, nature will take matters into her own hands. And what follows is nothing short of a grand exodus.

So now, we step in with care and intention.
We split. We balance. We guide.

The bees are ready.
The question is… are we?
