Sheri Rosen was an incredible herbal healer, gardener, and beekeeper. Her legacy lives on through her daughter, Sandi, who has taken over as Queen Bee since Sheri's passing in 2022. 

​

Sheri's journey began with her own mother in her backyard garden in Florida. Her mother was an avid gardener and taught Sheri all her beginning fundamentals of gardening plant life that are not just beautiful but healing too. She continued to care for plants and create her own teas and creations throughout her teens.

She began honing her herbal medicine skills in her early 20's while living in Jamaica. She worked with and learned from incredible healers who showed her the powerful properties of plants when used in different ways than just teas. She began using her skills to create her own healing tonics, teas, tinctures, oils, and cosmetic creations which she began selling in the health-food store she managed when returning to Florida from Jamaica. 

After moving from Florida to North Carolina in her mid 30's, she began teaching her young daughters about plants, gardening, and healing with the gifts from Mother Nature. Her youngest, Sandi, quickly developed an interest in plants and everything involved with them and began learning her mothers craft.

About 10 years later, Sheri's yard now officially registered as a certified nature preserve, she decided it was time to bring in the bees. She had always strived to have a healthy beautiful place for bees to thrive and now she was going to do it. She maintained four hives from which her "other daughters" produced hundreds of pounds of honey over the years. She worked tirelessly advocating for bees, educating children and adults on the importance of bees, and even mentoring others in bee care. 

After retiring in 2018, she moved to Maggie Valley, NC to live out her dream of being retired, raising her bees, gardening, and living a harmoniously nature filled life in the Smoky Mountains. Unfortunately, not long after her move, she was diagnosed with cancer. Eighteen months later, in July of 2022, Sheri passed away.  

Since Sheri's passing, Sandi has taken on the role as "Queen Bee" and has continued to share her mothers healing remedies. She has brought on her sister, Melissa Wineman, as the artist for Buzzy Blossoms Garden and is the artist of the original artwork for Sheri's hives and the Buzzy Blossoms Garden bee logo.

While Sandi and Melissa miss their mother terribly, being able to share Sheri's passion with others and carry on her legacy, allows them to feel close to their mother, their Queen Bee.
