We Are a Family-Owned Apitherapy Boutique!

Our mission is to introduce—or reintroduce—you to the incredible treasures of the hive and their many benefits, recognized since ancient times.

Born in France, I grew up in the United States, where I spent most of my life before returning to France over 15 years ago. Passionate about beekeeping, I transitioned into apitherapy, fascinated by the powerful properties of bee products.

In 2012, I founded Chez les Abeilles to share the benefits of apitherapy—the practice of using bee-derived products to support well-being and health.

I have always been amazed by the potential of bees—these tiny creatures that offer us so much. They are not only precious allies for our health and well-being, but also play a crucial role in maintaining our planet’s ecological balance.

My goal is to offer high-quality products that I deeply believe in, with real health benefits for anyone who needs them.

My Philosophy: A Beehive = a Pharmacy

For years, I ran this business alone, with occasional support from my partner, especially during market events.

Today, my small business is growing, and we are now a team of two—my stepdaughter and myself—dedicated to bringing you the best of the hive.

Throughout human history, bee products have been used by various civilizations. The earliest known depiction of honey harvesting dates back to 7000 BCE—a cave painting in Valencia, Spain, showing a human figure collecting honey with a basket.

In Ancient Egypt, mythology tells that when the god Ra wept, his tears fell to the ground and turned into bees, bringing wax and honey to mankind. Honey was widely used, not only as a natural sweetener for pastries and wine, but also as a medicinal remedy, particularly for wound healing, inflammation, and infections.

For the Greeks and Romans, honey was considered sacred, used as an offering to gods and spirits of the dead. Meanwhile, propolis was an essential part of Roman soldiers’ battlefield medicine, used to treat wounds during combat.

Even in more recent history, honey played a crucial role—during both World Wars, it was used to accelerate wound healing for soldiers.

Whether for nutrition or health, humans have benefited from the incredible properties of hive products for thousands of years.

Apitherapy is a time-honored practice that uses bee products for preventative and naturopathic health solutions.

We offer a wide range of products to help you protect your health, care for yourself and your loved ones, and even support the well-being of your pets. Of course, we also have some delicious honey-based treats for those who simply want to indulge!
