About Us

Molly was born with a flair for the dramatic, in a year she would never disclose and no one else could ever seem to document. Flaming red hair and a banshee cry announced the birth of a truly tempestuous Irish woman to all of West Cork. Her wiles, beauty and charm beguiled the neighbors, nuns and the truly helpless young lads of Ireland. Namesake of the grandmother who was owner of the famed Muckross Hotel, she embodies characteristics of both a revolutionary and an acient Celtic Warrior Queen. Tis’ rumored that young Molly was a bit fey, meaning she possessed a Celtic propensity for psychic intuition. Varying from the Titanic to the occasional Irish sweepstakes winner, her clearest foretelling was of a clamorous pub; filled with would be Irishmen, in auld Charleston, County Charleston, Americas. Her spirit permeates these walls and influences the song, drink, food, dance and banter to be found here. We hope her pub will relax, enjoy and raise a pint to Molly who was fond of saying…
“If Your Drinking to Forget, Please Pay in Advance.” est. 2010

OUR BEE-GINNINGS

Indeed, bees and honey became Ted’s way of life. He kept bees in high school then at college at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. In a tour with the Peace Corps after college, Ted taught beekeeping to village farmers in Central America. He traveled the world to see bees making medicinal manuka honey in New Zealand, rubber honey in Vietnam, logwood honey in Jamaica, heather honey in Ireland, and the famous tilleul lavender honey of France. “They’ve basically followed me, or I them, ever since I met Old Roy,” he says. “Until recently, it seemed more like Fate than a business plan. I never wanted to do this for the money because I never thought I could make any,” then adds, “and I didn’t want to adulterate my passion.”

SAVANNAH BEE COMPANY RETAIL STORES

Returning home to Savannah, Ted kept bees along the Altamaha River, extracting his honey and pouring it into beautiful found bottles, and crafting lip balms with the wax from his hives. Mixed with luscious essential oils, his lip balm formula was hand-poured into tiny tins and given as gifts to friends and family. When he started selling his home-extracted Tupelo around town in 1998, people loved the purity and richness, and the word spread quickly. “I was bottling honey in the kitchen and keeping bees on the roof,” he recalls. When more Savannah stores wanted to sell his honey, he moved the operation to his garage. The little business continued growing, until he was forced to ask himself the ultimate question: To bee or not to bee?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

With his passion blossoming into a business, Ted decided that he couldn’t ignore the potential, so in January of 2002 he quit his job, mortgaged his house, and put all his money into the venture—the Savannah Bee Company. He expanded the honeymaking “plant” into an old 800 square foot classroom at the Oatland Island Wildlife Preserve, where he paid his rent in honey. 2010 finds Ted operating a 40,000 square foot warehouse on Wilmington Island, a bridge’s distance from the City of Savannah. Savannah Bee operates three retail stores, bottles two distinct lines of world-class honeys, and manufactures a luxury beeswax-based body care line. Today’s operation is stark contrast to the days in Ted’s kitchen, but his passion has never changed. “I just love it,” he says. “I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

Clippity clop your way back to Colonial times where a horse-drawn carriage tour will reveal 300 + years of history including antebellum mansions, churches, and cobblestone streets. Tour Charleston the best way – with The Old South Carriage Company and our Charleston SC Carriage Tours.

A one hour Charleston carriage tour covering more than 2.5 miles and 30 blocks of historic Charleston is the very best way to see the city and to learn about its rich and vast historical areas and attractions.

Old South Carriage Company offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you do not thoroughly enjoy your carriage tour, Old South will gladly refund the price of the ticket.

An Old South Carriage Tour Guide in Confederate uniform will inform and entertain you with historical facts, lore, and humor.

The food and drink we sell meets highest standards of quality, freshness, seasonality and combines both modern-creative and traditional southern styles of cooking.

Our menu will be designed to attract both locals and tourists alike and will play on the “farm to table” theme of the Lowcountry food. Menu choice will be patterned after Lowcountry/Southern restaurants such as 82 Queen; a casual mix of Creole, French, Southern and comfort foods. Crab Cakes, Gumbos, Jambalaya, She Crab Soup, Fried green tomatoes, fresh seafood and meats will all be staples of the menu. We anticipate serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with the same menu being served for lunch and dinner. Menu offerings on all menus will reflect seasonal changes and specials will highlight what the local market has to offer. The quality of food will not be reflected in the pricing of the menu; we will strive to offer the very best food and quick service for the very best price. A wine list as well as beer and liquor will be offered to complement our food; again offering interesting varietals, vineyards and craft beers thoughtfully selected.

We are sister restaurant to 82 Queen, one of the original Lowcountry Cuisine restaurants to open its doors in the city. We know Lowcountry and after diligently researching Market Street restaurants, have come to the conclusion that what the area needs is a true, authentic Lowcountry restaurant.

We envision creating a casual restaurant that offers Lowcountry cuisine with the quality that 82 Queen has become known for in the city. The menu will be a blend of all the best that the city has to offer with the twist and kick that our kitchen can translate to the table. Coupled with the theme of fresh fruit, fresh produce, a menu that is served all day and dining areas that are comfortable and updated, we envision a restaurant that thrives on the Market year round.

Folly Beach has an exciting history. Starting with how we got our name. Early settlers, first approaching the island by sea, were welcomed by a pristine, tree lined coast.
