About us

Bow to the Bee is a luxury heirloom brand honoring the goddess in the hive — and in you.

Bow to the Bee reimagines fine jewelry through the lens of nature’s royalty. The Queen Bee. Our collections celebrate feminine power, natural beauty, and exquisite craftsmanship—where organic forms meet elevated luxury. Each piece is hand crafted in our studio in Colorado, USA.


Bow to the Bee donates a portion of its proceeds to regenerative agriculture initiatives that reduce pesticide use—helping protect bee populations—and to the Xerces Society, a leading organization in pollinator conservation.

Bee Love, 🐝 💚

Meet the founder

In 2019, I was visited by 100s of bees.

In my home, buzzing around me on my daily walks, in my car, everywhere - I started to look up the meaning of bees and that's how the love for bees began.

The bee is one of the most sacred symbols in human history. A messenger between worlds. A keeper of divine order. The ancient Greeks called her Melissa — the sacred bee — and built entire priestesshoods in her honor.

In 2024, after attending the Wise Woman Beekeeping retreat in Hawaii — I was inspired to catch a swarm and tend to my hives without chemicals, without extraction, without disruption.

Bow to the Bee was born from that first visitation. Each piece is a talisman — handcrafted in our Colorado studio, named for the Goddesses that embody the divine feminine.

  • OUR VALUES

  • What the Bees Teach

    “The way that you perceive us, we can see ourselves reflected in that. So in ancient times, we revered the bees as… you humans see us. We can perceive ourselves because you are holding a particular consciousness that’s like God-like.” Alison Yahna.

    The bee is a mirror. When we honor her, we honor something in ourselves. When we diminish her — through extraction, through chemical management, through the reduction of the hive to a honey-producing unit — we diminish that same thing in ourselves.

    This is what Alison means when she says the Queen has fallen in human consciousness. It is not only the bee who has been reduced. It is the feminine intelligence the bee embodies. The collective wisdom. The sovereignty of the Queen.

    “We can only raise up your own inner queen.”

  • How we Keep Bees

    At Bow to the Bee, we practice natural beekeeping — no chemicals, no extraction, no disruption. The bees lead.
    We watch. We listen. We bow.

    We do not take honey. We do not
    take wax. We do not override the colony’s decisions about its queen, its
    timing, its reproduction. The hive operates as it has for 50 million years, and our role is simply to provide the conditions for that to continue.

    This practice is not passive.
    It requires more attention than conventional beekeeping, not less. You learn to read the hive — the pitch of the buzzing, the pattern of coming and going, the temperature at the entrance. You learn to recognize what the colony is telling you.

    And then you step back.

  • The Jewelry

    Every piece in the Bow to the Bee collection is named for a goddess connected to the lineage of the sacred
    bee — Isis, Gaia, Selene, Persephone, Kali, Artemis, Hestia, Mellona, and the
    Melissae themselves.

    As a reminder.

    The Queen Bee is the divine feminine consciousness. She is not a symbol. She is the source. And every woman who wears one of these pieces is being asked to remember what they already are — sovereign, powerful, and divine.
