About us

Celbees was founded through Celford is passion for honey bees. He had already quite a few years of experiment before the official name ‘Celbees’ was introduced in 2014. Since our start till now, we grow a lot! We went from only selling honey to a lot more local made products.

We love to recycle where possible: making our bee boxes & frames by ourself from wood from old houses. On the Island we living, we need to import everything; by using materials what is already on the Island, we have less impact on the environment. That is also the reason why we using glass honey jars; we can use those easy again. Or did you see our great local wooden price tags already? They fit exactly in the core values from Celbees: nature, local, recycle.

Even the Island is small, we have a great big nature life. Nature gives us so much! We love to make products with what is growing locally. Gerda have a passion for making products with local resourses. All products need to have a touch from the Island, that is the starting point from Celbees. We love to challenge people with our live style, it’s good to live close with nature. Have respect for nature and nature have respect for you. We need to work with the seasons as well, for example we living in the Caribbean climate with dry seasons. In dry seasons we have no flowers on the island what is a hard time for the honey bees, we need to leave them alone till it starts getting green on the Island again.

We don’t have a shop (as in a building) on the Island. The Island is so small that we do delivery’s and we are every Friday at to local market. Besides honey we have also lots of other products in our assortment like bars of soap, scrub, lotion, body butter, lip balm, wine, tea, oils, aloe vera powder, candles… etc. These products are also sold on neighbouring Island like Saba, St. Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, Bonaire. Even in Holland we have our regular customers.
