❤️ A Difficult Decision for HoneyBea ❤️
Today, we have some difficult news to share.
After a lot of thought, many conversations, and with a very heavy heart, we have made the decision to close our shop in Tredegar at the end of this year.
This has not been an easy decision.
We have truly loved being part of the Tredegar community and creating a space where local makers, artists and small businesses could come together and share their beautiful work.
Unfortunately, the number of customers visiting the shop has simply not been enough to make the shop sustainable for us in the long term. We have tried, we have kept going, and we have given it everything we could — but sometimes, no matter how much you love something, you also have to be realistic about the situation.
And to everyone who did walk through our yellow doors, supported us, bought from us, shared our posts, recommended us to friends or simply stopped by for a chat — thank you.
You have no idea how much every single visit meant to us. ❤️
For those who never had the chance to visit us, there are still a few weeks left to come and see us — especially as we will soon have some lovely Christmas Beeswax Candles available in the shop. 🕯️
Our shop will continue to be open:
🗓️ Thursday & Friday — 11am–3pm
🗓️ Saturday — 10am–2pm
Please keep an eye on our page, as Saturday opening may occasionally change when we are attending outdoor markets.
But most importantly — THIS IS NOT THE END OF HONEY BEA. 🐝
We are closing our shop in Tredegar — not our business.
You will still be able to find us at outdoor markets, craft fairs and other events, where we hope to continue meeting our wonderful customers.
You can also continue to shop online through our website https://honeybea.shop, or get in touch with us directly via Facebook.
And looking ahead to 2027, we already have plans to open a new permanent space in a different town — somewhere where we already have many wonderful customers and where Honey Bea has received a lot of love and interest.
So please don't think of this as goodbye.
It is goodbye to one shop, one location and one chapter.
If you have been meaning to visit us in Tredegar, now is the time. Come and see us while you still can — we'd absolutely love to see you. 🌸
And to our haters who appeared along the way, our mysterious “customers”, and even those who tried to threaten us with legal action despite having absolutely no grounds to do so — thank you too. 😂
Without you, the journey certainly wouldn't have been quite as interesting!
But jokes aside, to everyone who has genuinely supported us, believed in us and stood by us along the way — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Honey Bea is still here. And we are not giving up.
The next chapter is waiting. 🐝✨
