The bees found me first.
Just Me and The Bees is my Charleston, South Carolina beekeeping business, offering hive tours, Host a Hive, and bee experiences across the Lowcountry.
What began with an unexpected swarm became a lifelong commitment to healthy bees, meaningful connections, and sharing the wonder of the hive.
Real bees. Real stories. One hive at a time.

Hi, I'm Lauren.
I didn't plan on becoming a beekeeper. The bees found me first. Today, I care for colonies around the Lowcountry and share the real, sometimes messy, always fascinating world of beekeeping.
