Amateur Beekeeper Scott Tucker Opens New Store
Scott Tucker opens new store to sell honey and bee keeping products.
Scott Tucker has been keeping bees in his backyard for more than twenty years, and has mastered the honey making process. Tucker, due to his love of bees and honey, has decided to open the Tucker Honey Boutique, which will sell his excess honey as well as beauty products, bee keeping literature, and tools of the trade.
“I started keeping bees during college when some friends I was staying with got their hands on some bees and beekeeping gear. I’m not really sure how or why at the time,” says Scott Tucker. “But after about three months I decided that this was my life’s work.”
As years passed, Tucker’s skills improved and the amateur beekeeper began to produce not only honey, but beeswax products. Tucker gave early products away to friends and family, and then sold the products from his home for more than a decade before starting an online venture to distribute his goods. Eventually Tucker sold his honey to local stores, where demand was high.
“At first the bottles were flying off the shelves almost faster than I could ship them or drive them to the stores,” Tucker remembered. “Luckily things have slowed down a bit now that I have my own space and a few staff members to help with the work. I’m happy people are getting my honey, but also happy things have calmed down since that initial surge.”
Tucker’s new store will be open weekdays from 9 to 5, and will have honey, beeswax products, beekeeping tools, and bee-themed toys and books. Samples of different honeys, lip balms, hand creams, and more will be available every day for shoppers to try.
“At first the bottles were flying off the shelves almost faster than I could ship them or drive them to the stores,” Tucker remembered. “Luckily things have slowed down a bit and sales have leveled off for now. I’m happy people are getting my honey, but also happy things have calmed down since that initial surge.”
