There was a line that stretched out the door! I stood in my booth at the dental show, and watched in amazement as dental hygienists lined up at the booth beside mine and spoke and bought the products being offered by the middle aged couple. During one of the breaks at the show, I walked over to the couple and introduced myself and asked who they were and what they were selling.
Don Johnson introduced me to his family run business, and I was immediately struck by their products and the fact that this was a fourth generation family business. Don's gentile demeanor and passion for his products and the fact that both he and his wife were in this together also impressed me. I had always wanted something similar for my wife and I to do. He spoke about why he attended dental shows, as he had come to realize that dental hygienists constantly have their hands in water. That turned on some light bulbs for me, as I knew someone else who constantly had her hands in water. I took some of his product home to my wife Gloria, who is an ardent basket weaver and stained glass artist. She uses water in almost everything she does and she often complained about her cracked and rough skin. To make the story short, she fell in love with the products. Living in Florida and commuting often to the Washington DC area, I also have run into hundreds of people with cracked skins, abrasions, and other water caused skin problems. Being "a senior" that magical age where our skin seems to become less elastic and more prone to cracks, even I have found the cream to be a great help. Have those hard calluses on your feet? Try the bees wax bandage to help soften those hard pads on your heels! I spoke with Don and asked if he had anyone on the east coast representing his products and the outcome was the birth of Bee-Natural Products, Inc. I love having a product made by a family that lives here in the US. In this day and age of everything either being made overseas or being produced by some multinational conglomerate, it is wonderful to represent a quality, local made or family owned products. My wife and I live in Vero Beach Florida, where we now proudly proclaim ourselves as a natural bee product distributor.
