Patricia Seabrook, Doreen Johnson, and Holly Raal. Owners at Bumble & Hive

Tucked away in a lovely Rhinebeck courtyard, Bumble and Hive is off the beaten path, but well worth the short walk down the alleyway next to Arielle Restaurant on East Market Street. Proprietor Holly Raal says that she "has always worked as an artist or designer, but desired to have more freedom to create."

In the spring of 2011, she decided to make a leap of faith and opened Bumble and Hive, in order to showcase her own work, as well as that of her talented friends. Holly reports, "this flight of fancy has been a true joy," for herself and her partners Patricia Seabrook and Doreen Johnson. "Rhinebeck seemed like a natural fit for Bumble and Hive," Holly notes, "because of the wonderful and encouraging spirit among the merchants in the village." And so far, Holly concludes, "Bumble and Hive has been very well received."

Well received, indeed! Bumble and Hive is currently offering a well-liked promotion through ChronogramDeals.com,“I have had such a great response from this program,” Holly explains, “it has brought many new people to our store, whether they bought the gift certificate, or if they just read the promotion and came by to check us out. The ad was so well put together that many people bought sight unseen without ever having set foot into our store.”

Bumble and Hive is an asset to the Hudson Valley and Rhinebeck. The store truly is "an emporium for the soul," as it's owners describe, offering work from local artisans, culinary treats from France, and, as you might expect, lots and lots of honey. Peruse varietals of exquisite honey from around the world, as well as local Hudson Valley varieties and other apiary products. Stop in and see for yourself!
