Brand Story

Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the early 1980s. Burt settled into a new life as the local “bee man” after finding a stray beehive and learning how to eke out a living selling honey.

Burt’s original beehives were labeled “Burt’s Bees” so he could track them down if bee thieves carried them off.

Burt taught Roxanne about his bees, and she found a book of recipes which they used to turn their waxy bounty into things like candles and lip balm that turned out to be a keeper.
