Part One of making a new crossbody bag style.

I’m really excited about this one, and I think you will be too!

I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out the measurements for this, learning to properly skive leather using a knife (and learning to sharpen tools properly!) and the upgraded motor on “Peppa” has given me much better control over stitching.

Come back to see how it comes together!

Hi friends!

It’s been a while since we’ve updated all of you.

The last 5ish years, we’ve poured our whole hearts into our sister business, Green Bee Floral Co. and, after many years, I’ve finally got it in me to sew and create again.

Many of you have been here since our beekeeping days. You’ve been following our story - and our son’s - since his diagnosis back in 2017.

Z + Bee co has been closed since 2021, and so it felt fitting to change the name of this venture and welcome you back into the next chapter of this story.

Some of you may know that we’ve been working on raising money to purchase some much needed mobility equipment for Joseph - who is now 8 years old!

As he’s continued to grow, we’ve found ourselves needing fairly substantial renovations on our home (including lifts, tracks, accessible washroom + shower, etc), as well as a wheelchair accessible vehicle so that we can take him to all the places he needs to get to (most urgent).

Our total fundraising goal is close to $300K.

We do have a Go-Fund-Me going if you’d like to donate, but I (Brittany) also wanted to set up my sewing studio so that profits from the sales of the bags + accessories we create can also be added to that fundraising goal.

So with that, I want to let you know that we have a website, and I hope to continue tracking our progress towards these necessary milestones for our family.

Welcome back! We’re happy to be here, and we hope you’ll choose to support our incredible (and growing!!) kiddo.

Well friends of Facebook and beyond. Some bittersweet news today. The end of an era has finally arrived. Z & Bee co is moving on from the honey business. It was a fantastic adventure learning about bees, collecting swarms, extracting honey, and meeting so many people in the community that had a passion for supporting local, buying fresh, and caring for the world around them.

This decision was not made lightly, a lot of discussion happened, namely, how many more stings and trips to the ER are you going to take as you are legitimately allergic to bee stings? A simple question from my wife. And one whose answer is hopefully no more trips.

You can still find our honey at the Green Bee Floral Co. booth set up at the Downtown Strathroy Market today. We will also have honey stalked at our store and other events until sold out.

But let’s end this tale on a happy note. The journey is not yet over. Our friends over at Mulberry Moon Farm have agreed to carry on the business of the bees. The bees have been living on their organic farm property for a number of years now, and I personally think it is a great fit. So look to find honey at their stands in the future.

And now, I bid you all a good day. Thank you for your years of patronage. It has been a pleasure serving the community in this small capacity. It sure was sweet, and having to say goodbye does sting. Thankfully, this sting doesn’t require a trip to the ER.

A humble beekeeper,
Nick
