Brian Howell, owner of The Bee Man Candle Company, is a native of Canastota, NY and relocated his business there a year ago. Brian knows the importance of running the business in his hometown. “After six years in North Carolina, I felt a strong need to move the operation and my life back to my hometown to be closer to my family. But more than that, I wanted to share the successes of my business with the local community - bringing my vision of quality and craftsmanship into a quality hardworking town. When people have something they can be a part of, communities grow and prosper.” Supporters of the Bee Man should vote each day up to the deadline of September 24th.
