A general store, honey bees, and boredom: what do these three things have in common? They were what inspired Darci Benoit to open her unique shop, Bees on Broadway.

Darci’s mom, an early positive influence, always loved bees. And Darci began playing with all-natural body products in the evenings after work because she was bored with television. The products contained—you guessed it—beeswax along with other ingredients. Though she loved the little sweet-smelling laboratory located in the home she shares with her husband and daughter, the inventory soon outgrew the space.

And that’s where the general store comes in. Darci had always dreamed of opening one and Bees on Broadway gave her the chance to do that…with a twist. Wanting to support other local artisans and craftspeople, Darci incorporates many useful household and gift items in the shop. Entering it feels like walking into an all-natural, bee-themed Vermont general store. And that’s just how Darci likes it.

Nicknamed the “Queen Bee”, Darci still crafts handmade soaps, lotions, salves, beeswax candles and ornaments herself in the shop. Of course, honey remains a best-seller and some comes from her family’s own beehives. Bees on Broadway is Darci’s “happy place,” and she smiles every time she opens its doors.
