Sustainable Honey from the Beeginning
From the beginning, founders Dick and Pat Turanski built GloryBee with a passion for honey and the health of the honey bee. They believed that healthy food would be a sustainable business in the future – long before the “better-for-you” brands had shelf space in the marketplace.
With leadership now passed on to the second generation, GloryBee is still family-owned and operated with the same vision of a healthy world where bees and people thrive.

SAVE the BEE
SAVE the BEE is inspiring positive change to ensure the future of honey bees.
We are increasing awareness of the critical role honey bees play in our food supply. One-third of our diet is derived from plants that require pollination, and in the US, honey bees are responsible for 80% of agricultural pollination! Without the services of honey bees, there would be no almonds or many of the other fruits and vegetables we take for granted.
The widespread loss of honey bees in the last decade has been linked to pervasive pesticide use, parasites, loss of foraging habitat, and poor nutrition. SAVE the BEE is funding scientific research on the causes of declining bee populations and on solutions to enhance colony health, as well as providing “best practices” education for beekeepers, farmers, and gardeners.
People Using Business as a Force for Good
GloryBee became a Certified B Corporation in 2016 because we believe that our business can be a force for good and inspire change for the better. Being a Certified B Corporation means that we meet the rigorous global standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. To us this is much more than just a stamp of approval. Maintaining our B Corp status challenges us to improve our business practices and decision making to continually consider how we are engaging and inspiring our employees and customers, mitigating our environmental impacts, and being a force for good in our community.
