Beekeeping is my family's story. My grandmother was a beekeeper, and her passion for the art form deeply influenced me from a young age. I was transfixed by this gentle practice that offered her stability, order, and peace. Her beekeeping was more than just a hobby; it was a way of life that harmonized with nature and brought a sense of purpose and tranquility.
Years later, she passed down her beekeeping equipment to me, and I began my own journey into the world of bees. Just like my grandmother, I was captivated by the intricate anatomy and behaviors of bees, as well as the remarkable healing properties found in honey, pollen, propolis, beeswax, and royal jelly. Each of these substances has unique benefits, and working closely with them deepened my appreciation for their role in health and well-being.
As I delved into beekeeping, I experienced profound physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. The connection I felt with the bees and their hive inspired me to share these benefits with others. My journey led me to develop a honeybee-based skincare line, driven by a desire to help other women reconnect with the earth and their own bodies through the natural healing powers of the hive. This vision culminated in the creation of POLLI.
The development of POLLI was not just about creating skincare products; it was about honoring the legacy of my grandmother and continuing the tradition of beekeeping that had so deeply influenced my life. Each product in our line is crafted with care and a deep respect for the environment, incorporating the rich, healing properties of bee-derived ingredients. Through POLLI, I aim to bring the benefits of the hive to others while promoting sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.
