 C. Marina Marchese
Ten years ago, Marina Marchese fell in love with bees during a tour of a neighbor's honeybee hives. Surprised to find that allowing docile honeybees to crawl across her hands instilled a serene tranquility and comfort, Marina quit her job, acquired her own bees, built her own hives, harvested honey, earned a certificate in apitherapy, studied wine tasting in order to transfer those skills to honey tasting, and eventually opened her own business. Today, her company Red Bee Honey sells artisanal honey and honey-related products to shops and restaurants all over the country. Honeybee: Lessons from an Accidental Beekeeper is not only a warm and inspiring story of one woman's intimate experience with honeybees (arguably the most industrious creatures on earth) but it is also bursting with fascinating and practical information about all aspects of bees. C. Marina Marchese is the founder and owner of Red Bee Honey and has been keeping bees for more than nine years. Red Bee products can be found in gourmet food shops and in the finest restaurants all over the country including Murray's Cheese Shop, The Four Seasons Restaurant, Eleven Madison, and The BLT Cafe at The Ritz-Carlton in New York, among others.
