Who We Are

Rita found beekeeping in 2021 during a “quarter life crisis”. After many years in the food service industry, she felt it was time for a change. She began with 2 hives in her backyard and after a season landed a gig in Seattle that allowed her to make beekeeping her full time job. Since then she has been dreaming of bigger and better ways to help people discover the magic of honey bees on their own. She believes that our relationship to bees is best when we focus not on what we can extract, but in the depth of wisdom that they offer (if we’re willing to listen). Rita is currently exploring the capacity of honey bees to aid in mental health work and hopes to offer therapeutic courses down the road.
