Bee Seasonal is an award-winning, ethical honey brand founded in 2017 by Larissa Leitner and Thomas Hübbe, based in Gilbert, Arizona. They specialize in sourcing certified organic, single-origin, raw and unprocessed honeys from trusted beekeeping partners in Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and other regions around the world. Their mission is to promote sustainable beekeeping, transparency in the food chain, and environmental protection while connecting consumers to unique, terroir-driven honey varietals.

The Beekeeper's Story

Bee Seasonal was founded in 2017 after co-founder Larissa spent significant time in Europe, where she noticed that supermarket shelves stocked a wide variety of seasonal honey varietals from around the world — something largely unavailable in the United States. Traveling between Europe and the US, she and her husband Thomas Hübbe set out to change that by building a direct-trade honey brand rooted in transparency, sustainability, and quality. The company works exclusively with beekeepers who follow organic production guidelines and are devoted to their bees, their communities, and the land — ensuring every step of the process upholds human dignity, product integrity, environmental protection, and bee well-being. By trading directly with producers, Bee Seasonal is able to source distinctive, single-varietal honeys from regions such as Brazil's rainforests, savannas, and deserts, as well as from Mexico and Germany, offering American consumers a world of honey flavors previously hard to find.
