Our Story

A family, a highway, and a whole lot of bees.

For more than 20 years, Doug & Katia Vincent have run Beekind as a true family business on Gravenstein Highway South. Doug keeps the hives and hand-pours every candle; the shop is stocked with the honey, wax and know-how that come from actually doing the work.

It's more than a store — it's a honey tasting bar, a classroom, and a resource for every backyard beekeeper in Northern California. Come in with a question and you'll leave with an answer, a jar, and probably a candle.
