Bee & Comb is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based beekeeping company founded in 2021 by Dr. Karén Avetisyan, a PhD-level beekeeping expert and scientist. The company offers local raw honey, beehive partnership programs, beekeeping supplies, and educational courses for beginner and professional beekeepers. Their mission centers on honey bee conservation, sustainability, and making beekeeping accessible to all.

The Beekeeper's Story

The Bee & Comb idea was conceived in 2021 by Dr. Karén Avetisyan to share and distribute information on beekeeping based on his extensive knowledge of honey bees. Originating from North Carolina, USA, Bee & Comb aims to reach everyday citizens all over the country through its online platform, equipping them with the necessary resources to become better beekeepers and empowering commercial beekeepers to grow their businesses. Dr. Avetisyan has worked as a national and international expert in beekeeping for 16 years, including as Head of the Honey Bee Selection and Breeding Department at the 'Multi Agro' Scientific and Production Center, and has collaborated with organizations such as the United Nations, USAID, Heifer International, and the European Union. Bee & Comb operates a hive partnership program — offering hive hosting for residential backyards and corporate environments — where they install, maintain, and even bottle honey with custom labeling for clients. The company also sells beekeeping supplies nationwide and provides online beekeeping courses, diagnostics, and consultation services, all in service of their core goal: increasing healthy honey bee colonies and educating people on sustainable beekeeping practices.
