Hi everyone
I've resurrected an old idea about selling everything to do with bees and honey ( my dad is a beekeeper so hence the obsession), can anyone suggest things I might be able to sell, make or buy?
Though the main problem i have at the moment is coming up with a name that is broad enough to encompress anything honey or bee related
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and have a lovely day

Cool!! all things bee!!! Love to know how you go, very interested in bee wax candles and the solid honey? dont know what its called but dad loves it!
CustomCandles replied:
Hi Janelle,
What about "Honey Bee's" for a name.
Gives you the honey and the bees.
What sort of products are you looking at selling?
You could make honey scented soaps and candles. I am sure that you would be able to get bee moulds from somewhere.
I actually make mobiles with bee hives and bees on them. They look really cool if I say so myself.
The choices are enless with bees and honey.
Let us know how you go with your progress.
Good luck with it.

Would you believe I had a conversion with a mate today about honey!
We were talking about "Super Bee" on the Sunshine Coast and Honey Tasting... (Superbee has heaps of different honeys you get to sample)
...honey tasting at a "Party Plan"... hmmm?
Jellie replied:
WOW, thank you everyone for your positive answers, i'm really excited now .
Tanya: honey is such a fantastic braod range product isn't it, from pollen to even the honey comb so many health benefits, i love it myself lol
Scrappy: honey goes "candy" like crystalized is that what you mean? or there is also creamed honey?
Sharon: love the name thank you :), not to sure what products as yet, i want to try and have a broad varitey, i'd love to do candles, beauty products etc etc maybe even have my own bee design?
Partyplans: ohhhhh I LOVE Superbee, that would be a dream of mine to own that, but I soooo love your idea of honey tasting, there are so many variety you can have it's endless, mmmmm may have to think more about that hehe
Thank you again everyone for being so positive, that's just one thing I love about this site, if anyone has any ideas please feel free to through them at me, i need all the help I can get at the moment
Have a great weekend

Hi there,
What a wonderful idea and a wonderful resource you have in your dad being a bee keeper.
I use Honey all the time. If I think i am getting a cold I have a little in my cup of tea. I drizzle it over cereal and of course honey and crumpets!!!mmmm my fav!!!
A chinese lady i used to work with also told me of a remedy for a chest type cough which included one raw egg place in a mug of boiled water and then 2 teaspoons of honey. It really works. Sounds revolting i know!! But the water kind of cooks the egg so it looks like chicken soup and the honey makes it drinkable and helps with its goodness.
I have heaps of Honey recipes so let me know if you want any. But honestly the ideas are endless. Its such a wonderful piece of nature. Dont forget the honeycomb! Yum!! Perhaps another name suggestion could be a Hive of Delights? Hive honey bees get it LOL.
Good Luck and will look forward to hearing more on your endeavours

Jellie replied:
Hi Again Everyone
Just having a think about names ( i'm going nuts lol) just thought of one: "It's A Bee Thing"
does that sound to corny or cheap, is it broad enough to cover any honey/ bee products etc and what kind of logo would go would that would you think?
Many thanks for your help

Just a thought, a shop I used to go to has now closed down, but it was called "the beez neez" and had a logo of a bee and a hive. It was really cute, they sold all things bee and honey. It has been out of business many years now (small country town) but if you like the name I dont think its still registered?
Jellie replied:
Scrappy
How adrobale is that, i love it!!,do you remember what products they sold at all? don't want to copy but i'm really stuck on ideas
Thanks heaps again, i think i'll have a look into the registeration etc
Have a great day
Janelle
Snazza replied:
Hi there,
The honey recipes i have are for all sorts of things. Honey biscuits, cakes, cornflake crackles, sauces, dips, etc.
Also Loved the name Beez Neez but according to the business registery it is still active. one showing cancelled and many using that same name with something added on
Good luck - love honey i am very excited for you.
Jellie replied:
Snazza,
Thank you so much for your words of encourgment, i'm soooo exicted aswell so excited in fact that my head is going round a million miles an hour lol but it's all good fun. Thanks heaps for looking up the name, i'm not suprised it's still registered ah well ,
i'm stuck on "it's a bee thing" but i think it sounds a little corny, what do you think
Have a great day and thanks again
Warmest wishes

Personally when I heard BUZZ ME - I immediately thought of Richy and my line of business (just add AA batteries girls!!)
Also, another thought, for any name, corny or not, is whether the domain for it is available, and whether it will be easy to remember. Eg : www.itsabeething.com.au ?? easy to remember or hard to forget ?Doing some searching on a domain site might help.
Jellie replied:
[ExMember148]
I had such a giggle at your post . I had a look at a domain registeration page, thank you for the idea and "it's a bee thing" wasn't registered so that's a good sign. Do you think it sounds corny at all or do you think it fits with what I want to sell eg everything bee and honey related?
Thanks again and have a great day
Janelle
Snazza replied:
Hi there
Its a Bee Thing LOL!!! So simple and to the point. But I guess it works. As its Bee related. I personally still like my Hive of Delights haha but at the end of the day we just WANT Honey!!! So what ever you come up with that feels right for you i am sure will do well.
Remember to keep up posted with any updates :)
Good Luck

Have a great night

BronwynM replied:

Might be worth while to have a look at Beechworth Honey, They have a store in Beechworth with all things bee related.. Flavored Honey, Honey Wine, Honey Drink, Honey Soaps.. Bee's Wax Candles, Bee Costumes for the kids.. the list is endless!! They have an online store to I believe....
Bronwyn
