Honoring Our Hive: Local Partnerships
At Honey Comb Cottage, we believe healing is not a solitary journey—it’s one we take together, supported by the land, the bees, and the beautiful web of community that surrounds us.
We are proud to partner with individuals, organizations, and local businesses supporting our mission of holistic wellness through bee-based therapies. Supporting local businesses isn’t just about transactions—it’s about building connection, trust, and a shared vision for a thriving, interdependent future.
At Honey Comb Cottage, we believe that true healing and lasting growth are rooted in community. Our work is guided by the land, the bees, and the relationships we nurture with those around us. That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with local businesses who share our commitment to wellness, sustainability, and mutual support.
To our current supporters: thank you for believing in the power of this work. If you’re a local business looking to collaborate, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something sweet, healing, and enduring—together.

Forest Lake Nature School
Nature school is a play-based, outdoor learning approach, rooted in the Forest Kindergarten model, it encourages creativity, critical thinking, and a love of learning—helping children become resilient, cooperative, and ready for kindergarten.
“The Forest Kindergarten model, through its interest-led programming, inquiry-based teaching style and emphasis on social and emotional development promotes kindergarten readiness in the following ways: it leads to better problem solving; higher critical thinking; encourages excitement about learning and retains the desire to learn; it teaches kids HOW to problem solve not WHAT the answers are; it expands creativity; it promotes a willingness to take risks; and it results in children who have better peer communication, emotional resilience, lower frustration levels, higher perseverance, and who work more cooperatively with their class mates.”
-Erin Kenny, Founder of one of the first Forest Schools in the United States
