From the bustling corridors of Goldman Sachs to the humming fields of bee apiaries, my guest today, Carly Stein Kremer, took a path that defies convention.
This shift was a result of a chance discovery of propolis (the "immune system" of a beehive) during her travels abroad, which didn't just alleviate Carly's long-standing health woe but redefined her entire life's mission. Now, instead of stock charts, Carly's world revolves around bee charts, and instead of fiscal health, she's dedicated to championing the incredible health benefits of bees and their offerings.

Carly's not just another entrepreneur; she's a bee ambassador. She's a voice for sustainable beekeeping, advocating for the planet's key pollinators. For Carly, it's not just about producing items under her company, Beekeeper’s Naturals; it's about a holistic approach – partnering with responsible apiaries, researching with top bee institutions, and ensuring that every product that carries the Beekeeper’s Naturals name stands up to rigorous, pesticide-free standards. She does all this while being a flagbearer for change, with accolades like the Forbes 30 Under 30. A renowned bee expert, Carly has also been featured in Allure and Vogue magazine, along with numerous podcast appearances to share the importance of bees in our daily lives.
Beekeeper's Naturals is a company deeply rooted in the principle of harnessing the natural wonders of the bee world. Leveraging the potent protective properties of propolis, a substance bees use to defend their hives from germs, the company has developed products that bolster human health. Propolis is a powerhouse ingredient packed with vitamins B, C, D, zinc, and antioxidants, alongside over 300 other advantageous compounds that support the immune system, soothe throats and maintain a healthy gut balance.
Thanks to Carly, Beekeeper's Naturals is staunchly committed to sustainable and ethical practices. They conscientiously avoid overharvesting from their hives, and their bees are only fed the hive's own products. Ensuring that their apiaries remain untouched by harmful chemicals, the company is situated in pristine, green locations. Moreover, they go the extra mile by conducting third-party pesticide testing, ensuring that their hives and the resulting products remain untainted. In terms of packaging and product integrity, Beekeeper's Naturals ensures its offerings are free from artificial colors, preservatives, alcohol, gluten, GMOs, refined sugars, and any other harmful fillers. This company embodies a true commitment to both nature and the well-being of its consumers.
