Step Into the World of Bees
🐝 Experience Hive Healing in a Whole New Way
Are you curious about the newest addition to our apitherapy offerings?
Our Bee Well-Being Haus is officially in place at Soulful Prairies in Woodstock, Illinois!
Soon, you’ll be able to step inside, lie back on our specially designed bee bed, and experience the hive from an entirely new perspective. Active beehives are safely housed beneath the bed, allowing you to rest above the bees while experiencing the gentle hum, subtle vibrations, warmth, and natural aromas of the hive without direct contact with the bees.
✨ Breathe in the unique air and aromas of the hive ✨ Feel the gentle vibration and rhythm of thousands of bees ✨ Settle into a deeply peaceful, meditative environment ✨ Disconnect, rest, and experience the hive with all your senses
Bee-bed houses have long been used within apitherapy traditions as spaces for rest and relaxation. While research into their therapeutic effects is still limited, the experience itself offers something beautifully simple: time to be still, surrounded by the sounds, scents, and energy of a living hive.
Bookings will be opening soon! Look for holiday specials!
We cannot wait to welcome you to our Bee Haus and share this extraordinary new way to experience the world of the honey bee.
Stay tuned for booking dates and more details. 🐝💛
Education Is Power
Come learn with us. 🌼
Our classes and demonstrations are about more than learning something new. They’re an opportunity to explore honey, herbs, bees, traditional preparations, and simple ways to bring health from the hive into your everyday life.
Join us to learn, explore, make, taste, ask questions, and grow.
Whether you’re just curious or ready to dig a little deeper, there’s a place for you here.
This is your sign. Come learn something new. 🍯🌿
Monthly Online Beekeeping Q&A
November 10th
How do I know if I did my due diligence? And what to do with my bees in winter
2nd Tuesday each month at 7 PM
Because sometimes you just need to ask: “What is happening in my hive?"
Until We Meet Again...
Three Bees has always been about more than honey.
It's about the connections we make, the communities we share, and the simple ways we can care for one another and the natural world.
Thank you for being part of our hive and for supporting small farms, healthy bees, and local businesses.
We hope to see you before the year is up at our markets and events and look forward to sharing another sweet year together in 2027!
With love, gratitude, and a little honey,
Ken, Konni & the Three Bees Team
