MELISSA’S BEES was established to offer services and assistance to the general public, pollinators, and fellow beekeepers. With a Master's degree in Education, my emphasis focuses on revealing the marvels of nature while nurturing deep and meaningful personal connections.

Founded by Melissa, she started the age of five tagging along on her dad's bee adventures. She shared her bee knowledge with classmates, and eventually graduated to teaching kindergarten. She re-entered the world of beekeeping with the introduction of an Eco Bee Box. Soon, she ventured beyond the classroom and started caring for over 100 hives in the Santa Barbara area. It wasn’t long until the full-time teacher was turned into a full-time beekeeper. She continues to educate through classes, presentations, and mentorship, fostering deep interests in bees and natural beekeeping.

Melissa’s Bees was created to transform fear into curiosity through educational and hands-on experiences with honey bees.
