The operations of the Bee Story Hall (Mifeng Gushiguan) carry the weight of a 75-year history in beekeeping, run by a dedicated family. The current operator, the eldest daughter, is the third-generation successor. Her most indelible childhood memory is traveling across Taiwan with her parents, migrating with the bees like "shepherds moving with their flocks" in search of flowering fields. Back then, the natural environment was abundant, meaning where there were flowers, there was honey. However, this nomadic life meant she was constantly fielding questions from her kindergarten teacher: "Will you be here tomorrow?"
Due to environmental changes and the increasing use of pesticides, the family business faced severe challenges, prompting the owner's father to nearly give up beekeeping entirely. This led him to resolutely take his expertise and experience to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Within a decade, he successfully became a "Bee King," managing over 500 million bees.
Despite his immense success abroad, he never forgot his roots in Taiwan. Upon returning, he launched a second venture, not only passing his successful techniques and experience to the middle generation of beekeepers to elevate the entire industry but also introducing Taiwan’s rare low-temperature vacuum honey concentrators to produce superior quality honey.
He subsequently established the Bee Story Hall, focusing on their own brand, continuing this spirit of beekeeping that has endured testing and innovation. The Hall is now approaching its 15th year. The Bee Story Hall is more than just a brand; it is a living history of Taiwanese beekeeping, full of heritage, challenge, and groundbreaking innovation.
