Urban Bee Company is cultivating a local ecosystem of bees, habitats, and humans in Seattle WA.

We produce chemical-free, Certified Naturally Grown honey. We also do bicycle delivery, permaculture-based pollinator gardens, and classes and talks.

We have three goals:

1. Support health and biodiversity of bees, by using locally-raised bees and queens, and by using natural beekeeping methods. We also support native pollinators and create habitats for them through installation of mason bee colonies and permaculture bee gardens.
2. Educate the public about agriculture and pollinators, using the hive as a focal point to discuss our local and global food systems.
3. Support local agriculture by creating healthy ecosytems—natural and social—and participating in community gardens and agricultural projects.

Founder Bob Redmond, a journeyman-level certified beekeeper, started Urban Bee Co in 2009. He is trustee of the Puget Sound Beekeepers Association, and serves on the steering committee for the Beacon Food Forest.

Amy Baranski, gardener, is his better half and leads product development and psychic wellness divisions for Urban Bee Co.
