This is the honey that started it all! Savannah Bee founder Ted Dennard learned beekeeping among the tupelo trees that grow the Georgia-Florida line, beginning a love story that continues to this day. With its distinct buttery flavor and golden green hue, Tupelo Honey remains one of the most sought-after honeys in the world.
Tupelo honey is only produced in two tiny regions in the U.S.: The Okefenokee Swamp and the Apalachicola River Basin.
Founder’s Notes - Ted Dennard
“For as long as I can remember I’ve had a connection to bees. From being introduced to beekeeping at 11 years old, to working for no money with an old beekeeper in high school, I grew up learning how important these little creatures are. After time in the Peace Corps, working with hundreds of beekeepers and teaching beekeeping in schools, I returned to Georgia, right where I started my honey journey. It was here I found myself searching for new ways to share the magic of bees and honey.
My original mission with Savannah Bee Company was to sell the best honeybee products while educating people about the fascinating world of bees. I didn’t know anyone who did that sort of thing—combining education and business. I was trying to come up with the best way to introduce customers to bees and quality honey properly. I figured that if people only knew the process, they would learn to love the bees and their products as much as I do.
There was also a conscious effort to elevate the honey world - bringing honey out of the plastic bears and into beautiful bottles, and into a place where honey and bees were truly appreciated. That was in 1999, and since then we’ve worked hard to make the dream of Savannah Bee Company into reality.
For 20 years we’ve sourced the purest honey from the finest beekeepers around the world - folks that I know by name and trust to provide the highest quality. From our conscientious packaging to our experiential retail stores, and our non-profit The Bee Cause Project, everything we do is to celebrate the incredible work of bees and the natural beauty they create. Our goal is to keep growing and learning and sharing, giving our voice to the bees with every bottle of honey.”
