Our Story

The story of Honey House Naturals began on a farm near Puget Sound, Washington. Our "Queen Bee" Ruth Willis began keeping bees to enhance the fruit trees in her family's backyard orchard. Soon, the bees were producing honey which they sold at the local market, but Ruth felt that the natural bee products could be doing more. In an effort to help a friend whose hands had become severely dry and cracked, Ruth created the very first Bee Bar, a concentrated lotion bar made of pure beeswax and healing emollients. After many years of success at local farmer's markets, Ruth grew her family business into a worldwide specialty boutique. Now, the Bee Bar, along with Belly Bars, lotion creams, lip butter, Honey Blossom Soap, room mists, candles and gifts are sold in specialty shops across the United States, Canada, and Britain and as far away as Guam – all of them still meeting the same high standards set by Ruth and her very first Bee Bar.
