The Downeast Center for Beekeeping LLC

Our store offers a large assortment of gift items including our own Betterbee hand creams, honey soaps, local honey, beeswax candles, honey straws, Shelburne cheddar, and our very popular honey candy that is made exclusively for Betterbee! Our showroom also features a large selection of beekeeping supplies, including Lyson and Maxant honey extractors and an ample selection of protective clothing.

For crafters, we have a large variety of candle molds and supplies for candle making, as well as kits and supplies for making soap and lip balm. We also offer supplies for making hand creams and salves. Betterbee offers 100% pure beeswax wax, in white and yellow.

Betterbee offers a wide selection of books for children and adults, on all topics to do with beekeeping and related crafts. Visitors to our store enjoy getting a closeup look at bees hard at work in our nearly four foot tall observation hive. And children enjoy hunting for the hidden Queen Bee while their parents shop. The prize is a free honey straw! 

Our Betterbee staff is always available to answer any questions you may have about bees and beekeeping, and the products we sell. We look forward to your visit!
