Beeswax Candles & Bulk Beeswax at Blossomland Bee Supply
Description
Early History
Phil Hempel, Blossomland Bee Supply's owner, began business in 1988 by selling beekeeping supplies to local Berrien County, Michigan, beekeepers like himself so that, as a group, they could realize better discounts. As the demand grew, Phil added more products and lines to the goods he kept on hand.
By 1994 the hobby-gone-wild had grown to such an extent that he opened an 18,000 square foot structure with a retail location offering more than 16000 items and a warehouse. Phil shared the facility with two other beekeepers, who still support the business in a variety of ways today. Ed Philips and Jim Baerwald remain the most loyal of friends and business associates. They combined their efforts to offer honey extracting and the processing of beeswax to local beekeepers. They bottled their own honey and produced a variety of sizes of beeswax block and bought the excess produced by the other local beekeepers, and offered it for sale in the store. The honey was popular not only with the area residents but with many of the area markets and wholesalers as well.
Going to the American Bee Federation 1994 National Meeting held in Austin, Texas, proved to be a highlight of those early years. Not only was Phil's youngest daughter Rachel chosen as National Queen, but his honey won a 3rd place ribbon, judged on overall quality, clarity and goodness. This national recognition was a milestone in the hobbyist's beekeeping experience.
