Our own brand: HoneyBee & Co.

The one client we cannot blame.

HoneyBee & Co. is not a client. It is our own brand: six generations of beekeeping, a full WooCommerce store and three channels we run ourselves. Every mistake on it is ours, which is why it is here.

The client

Why an agency should sell something.

HoneyBee & Co. was founded by Dragos and brings six generations of Romanian beekeeping to a modern shop: Acacia, Wildflower, Heather, Linden, Sunflower and Soft Set, each single origin and never blended.

Every agency says it can build and run ecommerce; most have never answered a customer email about a late parcel. This is the brand where we carry the risk we ask clients to take.

A full stack, not a shop pageSubscriptions with a subscriber discount, free UK delivery thresholds, NHS and Blue Light codes, EU shipping and email automation.
Every variety earns its pageOrigin, tasting notes, how it behaves in the jar, and reviews.
Checkout built for a phoneStripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link.

Beyond the shop

A store that teaches, in five languages.

A jar of honey is a small purchase. What keeps people coming back is what the site knows: the Bee Hub, a set of free tools built on peer reviewed data, with a world atlas of bee species by country, a map of the bees of Britain and a tool that shows a plate of food without bees. The store also reads in English, French, Italian, Chinese and Korean, for the people who order from abroad.

The Bee HubThree interactive tools and a guide to bees, cited to their sources, which bring visitors who were not looking for honey.
Five languagesEvery page translated, with the shop and the checkout in each.
Partnerships built inNHS and Blue Light discounts, corporate gifting and wholesale, each with its own page and rules.
Proof on every pageThe Google rating and its reviews drawn live, the SALSA certificate, the press, all from the brand's own records.

The channels

Posts we write, design and publish.

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, run the way we run a client's accounts: the brand's own pictures and ours, a calendar, and a reason for every post.

Why it is here: the same stack runs behind the Silvi the Artist store, which went faster because this one had already taught us where the rules break.

Client reviews

What our clients say.

★★★★★

“Working with Velena and Dragos has been one of the best decisions I have made for my business. They built my entire ecommerce website from scratch, with over 870 products and worldwide shipping, and the result is exactly what I had hoped for.”

Questions

About this work

Is HoneyBee & Co. a client?

No. It is our own brand, and the page says so.

Why put your own brand in a portfolio?

Because it is where we have answered the late parcel email, fixed the checkout at night and kept the speed after an update.

Do you run the channels as well?

Yes: Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, the way we run clients' accounts.

Can you build a store like this for me?

Yes. Start with the Store Build or, if you already trade, the Store Audit.
