Tracing the journey of Bee Inspired Goods Ellicott City

At our Ellicott City hive, Bee Inspired Goods continues its celebration of nature's most remarkable pollinators. Our historic location in this charming Maryland town perfectly embodies our commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and community connection.

When artist Kara Brook Brown first discovered the transformative properties of beeswax in her encaustic paintings, she never imagined how deeply intertwined her creative journey would become with the honeybee. What began as a simple quest for creating a sustainable art form in her studio evolved into a passionate advocacy for these essential creatures.

Ellicott City's rich agricultural heritage and vibrant artisan community made it the perfect setting to expand our mission. Here, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Patapsco Valley, we've created a space where visitors can experience firsthand the remarkable relationship between bees, sustainable practices, and artisanal craftsmanship.

Just a short drive from our Ellicott City store, our apiary thrives on a picturesque 102-acre farm along the serene Chester River. This beautiful property serves as the heart of our commitment to nurturing and protecting Maryland's essential bee population.

Over the past decade, we've transformed our farmland into a bee paradise, carefully cultivating native wildflowers, diverse clovers, and fruit trees that provide abundant nourishment for our honeybees from early spring blossoms through the rich golden days of autumn.

We proudly bring the fruits of this labor directly to Howard County through our Ellicott City retail location. While supermarket shelves may offer mass-produced options, the difference between commercial honey and our artisanal products is remarkable. The honey we offer at our Ellicott City store captures the essence of Maryland's natural landscape—vibrant, invigorating, and authentically pure, just as nature intended.

I love this little spot nestled between the many restaurants located in the metro court at Owings Mills... This is definitely a place to check out for your honey needs.

My first visit to the Honey House was as lovely as the aesthetics that adorn the super cute retail space. There are multiple options for local East Coast honey, tea, body products, and honeycomb. I was pleasantly surprised that I was offered to sample the various honey flavors. This is the perfect place to pick up holiday gifts for all the foodies and beauty lovers on your list. I'll definitely be back.

Honey House is my favorite place to go when I need a gift for friends & family.

Melina

This company and their products are phenomenal. I purchased a few gift options [that I sent] to family members and everyone loved everything, from the quality of the products to the presentation — it was all perfect. So perfect that I had to also buy myself some honey, and it is superb! I am definitely coming back for more.
