Just Bee is a Manchester-based wellness brand. Founded by Joe Harper and Andy Sugden in 2015, the business started with a honey-sweetened flavoured water sold through local delis and artisan markets before securing listings in Fortnum & Mason and appearing on Dragon’s Den. After Covid caused an 80% decline in revenue, the founders reinvented the business, launching a range of wellness honey blends infused with natural vitamins and botanicals designed to support sleep, energy, immunity gut health and more. Today, with three generations of beekeeping heritage behind the brand, Just Bee develops and packs its products in Manchester and reached £9.4m in sales this year.
