Her Story

Founded in 2009, The Beekeeper’s Wife Apiary & Soapery is a local treasure nestled on 28 forested acres of the beautiful Oregon coast. Specializing in luxury cold-process soap, beeswax candles, and balms, their passion for quality and sustainability is evident in every product.

The journey began in 2004 when Andrea met her husband, Mark, who introduced her to the world of beekeeping. Instantly connected to the bees’ magic, Andrea felt inspired to create products with raw honey and beeswax, crafting formulas that are good for both people and the earth.

Bringing joy through their beautiful soaps and balms is the heart of what they do. Knowing their creations brighten someone’s day is truly an honor.

With that passion, in late 2023, they launched The Beekeeper’s Wife Maker’s Blend. This innovative 3-in-1 blend, perfect for cold-process soap, body balms, and lip balms, follows the very recipes Andrea uses for her own beloved products.

There’s a real thirst in the maker community to learn and grow, and Andrea is honored to share her knowledge and help others succeed. It’s a mutual journey of discovery – there's always something new to learn together.

The future is a beautiful mystery, but one thing is certain: it will be a wonderful adventure!

Our promise is to offer you the very best that the bees offer to us. Whether it be the hand crafted creamed honey and beeswax or luxurious bath and body products. 

As a proud member of the Handcrafted and Cosmetic Guild, HSCG, I am committed to hold high ethical standards and to conduct business in accordance with all local, state and federal laws. If you are a soap, cosmetic or candle maker, I highly recommend joining! More info
