Katie Sanchez & Melissa Elms
While trying to make apple jelly, Katie Sanchez made an unfortunate, yet fortuitous mistake, she discovered how to make HONEE from Apples! In 2013 Melissa Elms, a sales and brand building executive, joined the company and Bee Free Honee launched into 1000+ brick & mortar stores. With their focus on educating the public about saving pollinators and specifically the honey bee, they’ve created quite a buzz! Their campaign, Saving Bees One Apple at a Time, as well as their financial commitment to donating $.10 from the sale of every bottle, has created a sea of opportunity for this women-owned and operated company.
