~ The Beekeeper’s Wedding ~
I like to imagine that many decades before his legendary funeral, the Devoted Apiarist was married in the very same gardens where his happy hives resided.
In celebration of their caretaker's nuptials, the bees gathered nectar from the most beautiful of his myriad roses, lilacs, sweet neroli, sunflower, and non-indolic jasmine. The honey they conjured was unlike any other: warm, bright, and utterly magical.
Wear this deeply floral scent to honor love in its highest, most timeless forms.
~ Sky Kittens ~
A phrase borrowed from an esteemed beekeeper whose online content has warmed many human hearts toward Apians.
A hive box of sun-bleached teak, decades of crystallized honey, dark, golden, and pale amber resins, dried fig, musky bumblebee fuzz, and a needle-fine trace of pink grapefruit.
Wear to soften dispositions, open minds, and cultivate community.
