Savannah Bee Company Fine Honey and Body Care Joins Taigan Online Shops

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Savannah, GA  –  Since 2002, Savannah Bee Company has made a beeline to the editorial pages of O Magazine, Vogue, bon appétit, Southern Living, Rachel Ray’s Everyday and Real Simple, offering the finest honeys and luxurious natural and organic body care available.

Founder Ted Dennard believes that bees live as people should live: naturally, symbiotically and in a manner that contributes positively to the world around them. This ideal forms the cornerstone of Savannah Bee Company’s business philosophy and corporate culture. Each batch of honey is individually tested to maintain the highest possible quality standards, filtered, then bottled without any processing or additives. All of Savannah Bee Company’s products are packaged in recyclable materials, comprised of the highest-possible recycled content, for least possible environmental impact.

“I'm confident that Savannah Bee Company offers the world's finest pure honeys and all-natural body care products available. It's my goal to share my passion for honeybees through education, premium beeswax-based body care, and bottling the most delicious honey you'll ever taste. I hope you enjoy our products as much as we enjoy making them!” Ted Dennard, founder/beekeeper Savannah Bee Company and 2010 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist.

About Savannah Bee Company and Founder Ted Dennard
Ted Dennard was first introduced to honey as a 12-year old boy when he met elderly beekeeper Roy Hightower. He kept bees throughout high school and college and taught beekeeping to village farmers in Central America during a tour with the Peace Corps after college. He traveled the world to see bees making manuka honey in New Zealand, rubber honey in Vietnam, logwood honey in Jamaica, heather honey in Ireland, and tilleul lavender honey of France. When he started selling his home-extracted Tupelo around town upon his return to Savannah in 1998, the word spread quickly. With his passion blossoming into a business, Ted quit his job, mortgaged his house, and put all his money into the venture—the Savannah Bee Company. 2010 finds Ted operating a 40,000 square foot warehouse on Wilmington Island, a bridge's distance from the City of Savannah. Savannah Bee operates two retail stores, bottles two distinct lines of world-class honeys, and manufactures a luxury beeswax-based body care line.
