Hi there — we’re the mother-daughter team behind Bumble and Bee, a small candle studio based in the heart of Duluth, Minnesota.

What started as a fun weekend project has grown into something truly special. We love creating things together — it brings us joy, sparks our creativity, and most of all, brings us closer as mother and daughter. That love and connection goes into every candle we make.

Each of our candles is hand-poured in small batches using high-quality ingredients and clean, cozy scents. Inspired by the beauty of the North Shore and the comfort of home, our creations are made to warm your space and lift your spirit.

Ella, the “Bee” in Bumble and Bee, is the heart behind our scent selections. She’s passionate about crafting fragrance blends that are thoughtful, nostalgic, and just a little bit magical.

At Bumble and Bee, we believe in slowing down, making things with care, and finding joy in the simple moments. Thank you for being here and for supporting our little dream.

With warmth,
Ella and Jill
