About Oh Beehive

Hi, I'm Ali!

Oh Beehive began in 2017 with a simple question: Is there a better alternative to plastic wrap?

At the time, I was working an office job and started making beeswax food wraps at my kitchen table as a way to reduce waste in my own home. Before long, my coworkers became curious, then customers, and eventually some of my biggest supporters. What started as a small hobby quickly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

As Oh Beehive continued to grow, so did my passion for helping others make simple, sustainable changes in their everyday lives. I moved into a dedicated production space, expanded my product line, and in 2022 opened my very first storefront.

Today, Oh Beehive has grown into a refill and eco goods shop in the heart of downtown Barrie, offering refillable household and personal care products, locally made goods, sustainable home essentials, and thoughtfully chosen gifts. Every corner of the shop has been created with one goal in mind: making sustainable living feel simple, welcoming, and accessible.

One thing you'll quickly discover about Oh Beehive is that every product is here for a reason. I carefully choose each item with quality, sustainability, and everyday practicality in mind. If I wouldn't use it in my own home, it simply doesn't make it onto the shelves. I believe eco friendly products should be beautiful, effective, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

I also believe sustainability isn't about being perfect. It's about making small changes that fit your lifestyle, celebrating progress over perfection, and knowing that every refill, reusable swap, and mindful purchase makes a difference.

Whether you're stopping by to refill your laundry soap, discover a new favourite local maker, or simply ask questions about reducing waste, I'm so grateful you've found your way here.

Thank you for supporting a small business, believing in my dream, and being part of the Oh Beehive community. Together, we're proving that a little really does go a long way.

Practical products. Thoughtfully chosen. Better for your home, and the planet.
