About Us
You never know where life will bring you. When Brent & I began Beehive in 2000, we never imagined we’d be a part of something as exciting as this has been. We have such wonderful customers & a truly great staff.
I started working at a very young age in my father’s mobile home dealership in Opelousas, LA. I cleaned many mobile homes and also taught swimming lessons on the side. I did this throughout my childhood & teenage years. Brent also started working at an early age. He was 9 when his career began in Natchitoches, LA. He & his brothers sold watermelons on the side of the road to customers headed for the lake. Their watermelon stand was known as having some of the best watermelons around. Even in our childhood, we both learned the value of hard work & dedication.
We met at Louisiana Tech University, where we both studied & earned our degrees. Upon marrying in 1989, we moved to Nashville to begin our careers. We quickly decided that wasn’t the place for us. Family is a big part of our lives & being far from home was difficult. We moved to Ruston, LA & started our own business. It was a gift shop near the University. For 10 years we provided unique & fun gifts to the public. It was very rewarding to see how our hard work paid off. People knew they could rely on us to provide them with quality products at a low cost & with the friendliest service around. After we sold our business, we became sales reps for TY. We did that until starting Beehive in 2000.
The experiences we have gained over the past 20 years have shown us what the public wants, what retailers need & having done all of that ourselves, it has given us the knowledge of being able to provide that from a wholesale prospective. Beehive strives to excel as the top nation-wide provider of fashion jewelry displays that are affordable, versatile & trendy.
Finding and designing new products for you has been our passion from the beginning. We have looked world wide for the latest and sometimes undiscovered jewelry and accessories for you to sell. These treks have taken us to India, Philippines, Mexico, Argentina, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia & all of the United States.
Our two sons, Beau & Tatman, have been able to join us on several of our journeys. God has truly blessed us with a wonderful business and a loving family.
As we continue on our journey, we still maintain our passion and that is to design & find new and wonderful pieces for you to sell at great prices, even if we have to travel the world to do so. Thank you for your business and we wish you continued success and blessings to you.
Amy & Brent Bernard
