Our Story

Bee Grateful is a family-owned confectionery built by hand, rooted in real food, and guided by a deep respect for craft.

Years ago, that belief led us to a small piece of land outside Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where we started Bee Grateful Farm. Growing food there taught us what real ingredients require: patience, care, and resilience.

Surrounded by extraordinary Colorado honey, we began experimenting in our kitchen.

When we made honey caramels, everything changed.

They were richer. Smoother. More complex.
The honey didn’t just sweeten — it transformed.

We looked at each other and said, This is it.

In the winter of 2019, Bee Grateful Honey Caramels was born. It didn’t take long for people to return to our farmer's market booth, week after week — not just for a bag, but for friends, family, and gifts.

That was the beginning.

A True Family Business

Bee Grateful is still a true family business. We all work together every day, developing recipes, packing orders, designing packaging, tasting batches, and telling the story of Colorado honey.

Food has always been how our family shows love. Not just nourishment, but connection.

We learned early that you can taste when something is made with care. That belief guides every batch we make.

We think you can taste that too.

What Makes Our Caramels Different

No refined sugar.

No corn syrup.

No artificial flavorings.

Every Bee Grateful caramel is:

100% honey-sweetened
Made with Colorado honey sourced directly from trusted local beekeepers
Crafted with mostly certified organic ingredients
Made in small, handcrafted batches

We choose local Colorado honey over imported “organic” honey with unclear origins - prioritizing transparency, flavor, and integrity every time.

Honey creates a caramel that is more complex, more nuanced, and simply more beautiful than anything made with processed sugar.

And once you taste it, you understand why honey makes all the difference.

Why "Bee Grateful"

We named our company Bee Grateful as a reminder to pause, appreciate the small wonders, and savor simple sweetness. When we focus on what we already have, joy grows and gratitude becomes a way of life.

Where We Are Today

What began in a home kitchen is now enjoyed in specialty retailers, luxury hotels, and homes across the country.

Our caramels have been enjoyed at places like:

Erewhon

The Ritz-Carlton

Four Seasons

Hotel Jerome

National Park stores

and thousands of independent markets nationwide.

But we still make them the same way we did at the beginning:

By hand.

In small batches.

With real ingredients.

With family around us.

Our goal is simple: to make caramels so thoughtfully crafted and deeply flavorful that you notice the difference immediately. And we remain deeply committed to making them the right way - slowly, carefully, and by hand.
