Savannah Bee Company history

Savannah Bee Company – Ted Dennard
Savannah, Georgia
It was probably in 1999 when I started working with Ted Dennard, owner of Savannah Bee Company. I was working part-time then at a printing company in Downtown Savannah. Our first project involved the smallest label for the all-natural lip balms he sold in stores around the area. For the next 8 years, I learned a lot about the honeybee and its products. I was fortunate to design all the honey packaging you still see today. Ted learned the craft of beekeeping as a child in South Georgia from a man he knew as Old Ray. He has kept bees ever since. Ted is passionate about beekeeping and taught me so many interesting historic facts about the honeybee - and importantly, how to eat it. Delicious! I’m proud to see these products across the United States - gorgeous golden award-winning artisan honeys. It’s wonderful to see such a success story and someone living from the fruits of their passion. Plus, branding the product with the city of Savannah’s name on it does wonderful things for this creative coast.
