What Bee Wild does

Bee Wild (legally Organic Mountains, LLC) is a Gainesville, Georgia-based artisanal food and body care company founded in 2010 with approximately 11 employees. The company specializes in small-batch, wildcrafted raw varietal honeys sourced from the North Georgia Mountains, the Florida panhandle, and Northern Michigan, with named varietals including Wildflower, Sourwood, Gallberry, Tupelo, Orange Blossom, and Star Thistle. It also sells a sub-brand of infused honeys called Wild Side Infusions (Lavender, Devil's Advocate Ghost Pepper, Ginger, Meyer Lemon, Cara Cara Orange, Cinnamon, Garlic, Pumpkin Spice), honey-based body care products (Honey Body Glow, Honey Body Soufflé, hand-made honey soap), and proprietary Honeypot® beeswax luminaries made from on-farm beeswax.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront on Shopify at beewild.buzz, supported by a content blog (blog.beewild.buzz) and recipe site (recipes.beewild.buzz), and distributes through specialty retail partners including Chelsea Market in NYC, Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, 20+ Georgia locations, and Rhode Island, with limited international placement in Curacao. Pricing is unit-based pay-as-you-go across products priced from $7 to $58, with no subscription offering. Revenue is generated entirely through these direct and wholesale channels; the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or M&A activity, and operates as a founder-led LLC (founder contact: [email protected]).

The business has won industry recognition including the 2017 Good Food Awards honey category for Sourwood Raw Honey and a tasteMAKERS television feature for its Devil's Advocate Ghost Pepper Infused Honey. It also runs beekeeping education programs in partnership with Rescue Bee Sanctuary in Lawrenceville, GA, adding an education/coaching revenue stream beyond physical goods.
