On the island, the foundations of the project are laid with Ted’s beekeeping class to a group of 12 locals who would excitedly take on the beekeeping. It started with a call from Catherine when Ted packed up in a frenzy, the one we can all relate to where we grab everything that can be even slightly useful, and hopped on a flight to the Bahamas.
However not an easy project to complete, it would help improve the quality of life for people on the island. The Exuma ProjectĪlong with Catherine Booker, the Environmental Project Manager of the Exuma Foundation, Ted took on the task of reintroducing the bees, which ended up proving itself to be quite challenging. And since 2013 they have been educating the next generation on the importance of bees as pollinators with their Bee Cause Project. In 2014, they reintroduced bees to a bee-less island in their Exuma Project. Photo from then, Savannah Bee Company has taken on several initiatives to make a positive contribution to the world around us. It wasn’t until three years later that Savannah Bee Company was born as a by-product of that mission when Ted started selling his Tupelo Honey at a friend’s store in Savannah. It was in 1999 that Ted Dennard followed in the footsteps of an elderly beekeeper and took on the vision of beekeeping as a way of life, with a mission to save the bees.
Since 2002, besides selling the highest quality honey, Savannah Bee Company has been giving back. Photo from More about Savannah Bee Company:
And this new tropical mead, in addition to the heat from the honey will feature notes of mango, orange, and pineapple. This sweet and spicy Hot Honey features heat from the scotch bonnet and habanero peppers. It’s going to be hot, it’s going to be spicy, it’s going to be tropical, and it’s going to be made with Savannah Bee Company’s recently introduced Hot Honey. But today, we’re going to get you excited for an exclusive mead collaboration between Monks Mead and Savannah Bee Company. Photo from then you’ve tasted Savannah Bee Company’s lavender honey in our Stigmata, and their wildflower honey in our Peachin to the Choir. Unfortunately, it would take Monks, as a new Meadery, a few years to get the boozy new drink into bottles and rotation with Savannah Bee Company. It wasn’t long until Monks Mead caught their taste buds and the relationship between the two companies began. Coincidentally this was around the same time that Savannah Bee Company was looking to open a few mead bars in their retail locations. Hey ya’ll! Would we really be in the south if we didn’t say that at least once in our blog? Today particularly it fits, because not only will we be introducing an upcoming hot, tropical mead just in time for summer to join our 5 summer meads line up, but this mead comes from the collaboration of two businesses started right here in the South, Monks Meadery and Savannah Bee Company.Īs you may have learned in previous blogs, after basement experimentations of 2 broke college students to make a highly boozy drink, Justin and Martin made a mead that was like no other on the market at the time.
