Cute honey store located in the village. Besides several varieties and sizes of seasonal honey, you can also get beauty products and other sweets. At the time there were 4 different types available so I picked up a variety pack with travel containers of each. Great place if you are a fan of honey.

This was an incredible find on our short stay in Big Bear. We learned so much from the owner, Mercedes, about all the benefits of the honey bee products they sell. We cannot wait to try everything when we get home. Be sure to ask questions if you are not familiar with the products - like bee pollen, propolis, royal jelly, etc. Oh! And you are able to get free tastes of the various delicious honeys offered! 😋

Very cute shop! The guy working was very kind and knowledgeable. He let us sample some honey before we took some home and explained every step of the way for us. The shop has super cute home decor and the honey is amazing. I saw this place when coming in for a wedding in Big Bear and I said it was a “must stop” shop! I’m so glad we did! Great employees, atmosphere, & product. We will be back next time and I’ll be picking up more for friends!

Saw this little shop on our way for a hike at Castle Rock. So glad we stop in after our hike.They have 2 different kinds of beeswax: beard balm (no fragrance) and skin balm with lavender. Can’t decide on which kind, I bought both. This is the best kind of moisturizer, organic and no chemicals! Love, love beeswax!!!Bought royal Jelly and bee pollens which are at good price.Nice selections of honey. After some sampling, we bought the honeycomb and alfalfa honey.The person at the shop was ver patient with our questions. And they they do mail orders too!

Thank you to Mercedes for the wonderful experience Went to Queen bee for their Mesquite honey - love cooking with it! They were sold out so I guess we gotta go back ☺️Also, definitely gotta stock up on those lollipops! Still can’t decide which one is our favorite (bought one of each), my son LOVED the peach, I LOVED the pomegranate.A must visit place, but please 🙏, save me a mesquite.

Wow, this store is the perfect hidden health gem🍯 I was inspired by the richness and wealth of knowledge I gained from Mercedes regarding the power of Mother Nature. The honey is absolutely delicious and the skin care products are deeply nourishing. I am now a loyal customer💛

Visit this place if you are a fan of natural products and local honey! Staff is knowledgeable and friendy, allowed us to sample several products. We purchased three types of honey for ourselves (avocado, clover sunflower, cinnamon sticks) and gifts for family & friends. Also the honey soap and honey peppermint lip balm are wonderful! We'll be repeat customers. Bonus that the boutique is pet-friendly as well.

Such a cute little shop! Staff was very friendly and helpful. A great place for gifts or just a little something for yourself. The skin balm they make does wonders for dry hands. Will definitely be stopping by when we travel to Big Bear again!

My wife and I were on vacation in Big Bear and stopped by the Queen Bee to check it out. We fell in love with the place and Mercedes took the time to educate us in the different honey products. We ended up spending several hundred dollars, then went back 2 days later to purchase more for us as well as gifts. I have not been able to find a store near us that comes close to what the Queen Bee offers. I love the skin balm! I’ve tried about s for my dry, cracked fingers and nothing worked, that is until I started using the skin balm. I gave the hair restorer a try not expecting anything, then a few weeks ago my my says, honey (pun intended), you’re growing hair in your bald spot! Sure enough, there’s hair coming up in a place where hair hasn’t been for a very long time. Then there’s the honey; the avacado honey is my favorite.

What a sweet honey shop! We had a fantastic chat with Mercedes about how incredible bees are. She taught us some interesting things. One honey fact she had learned only just the day before! She's a lifelong student still passionate about bees and honey. She's the bee's knees! Do yourself a favor and stop by here if you have the opportunity.

Great quality and tasty honey. I tried for the first time, the lemon grass lip balm which has a clean and smooth texture; and soothing smell. Excellent service.

Very knowledgeable staff to explain the uses & benefits from the various products. The samples were helpful to experience the skin balm w/Aloe vera spray, lip balm & the different honey tastes. Very nice for gifts too.

So glad my wife and I discovered the QB. Not only very knowledgeable but so very helpful. We ended up purchasing a lot of products for ourselves, as well as several Christmas gifts. Definitely will be regular customers from now on since they offer online sales.

I have been buying honey from Ms. Mercedes since 2016. I now live in the Coachella Valley and will always order online or make the drive. I trust her honey to be completely natural and help me with my allergies.

I've always been a honey fanatic but my husband doesn't actually care much about it. However, after tasting the honey at the store he wanted to buy even more because he was so amazed with the taste of it. This honey is not really more expensive than if you buy some at the grocery store but its definitely better!

Great honey full of flavors , we got the avocado honey and it is so delicious. Nothing like the supermarket bought, their honey is so much better. We should have got more. Will definitely go back next time we visit big bear lake.

Loved visiting this shop just outside of town! I loved the adorable lip balms and other beauty products, and the variety of honey they provided.

It is the First place in California who asked me to prove them that I'm vaccinated to enter the store without mask. I didn't feel it right. Even my federal job is not asking me that. Also, girls who work there was very mean. I was looking some products and they were watching me. I felt like they were watching all my moves, every bottle I take to read ingredients. When we asked some questions about products, they answered very short way like we bothered them. I bought some products, but I didn't feel any hospitality and welcome there. I will never come back!

Great shop and great customer service. I had ordered a couple jars of honey which happened to break in transit, they replaced them and sent out new product that day.

The hours they have posted online and on their front door say 10am - 6pm everyday. I got there at 11am, and they were closed. I even called the shop to see if somebody was there, but it went to voicemail. Wish I could experience the hype of this shop, but they didn’t even give me an opportunity to.
