World Bee Day with Honey Truck Co.

St. Augustine – Danielle Brooks loves drinking tea, especially with honey. One day she thought how awesome it would be to have her own hive to harvest from; so she started researching bees and how to keep them. After checking out every book in the library on the subject, she decided to jump in with both feet.

Struck with inspiration, Danielle began looking for the perfect business partner -- and found it in a vintage truck that she now sells honey from at events and pop-ups all over St. Augustine. What started with one beehive quickly turned into a full scale business. The mission of Honey Truck is to educate others about honey bees, native pollinators, and ways we can help conserve their habitats.

Danielle now maintains multiple hives all over the city of St. Augustine, as well as partnering with other small scale beekeepers across the state.

Rance met with her at one of her hives to learn more about beekeeping and the importance of bees to Earth sustainability.
