Co-Founders of Hive and Honey: Summer Rose and Chrissy Ivie

In the fall of 2010, Chrissy and Summer met by chance. Chrissy, who was a make-up artist was asked last minute to come in do a special customer’s makeup for her wedding rehearsal dinner. The woman who sat before her that fateful day was Summer. The two fell into conversation quickly and touched on Summer’s career as a Personal Trainer. Chrissy had always wanted to go to a personal trainer but felt uncomfortable, overwhelmed and unsure in the gym. Chrissy decided to face her fears and book a session with Summer. After a few private sessions, it became clear the two were going to be fast friends and the rest, as they say, is history.

Summer affectionately calls Chrissy her “Yes Friend.” Want to run a half marathon even though we aren’t runners? Yes! Want to go on a trip with me and a bunch of people you don’t know? Yes! Want to help me go through my closet and freshen up my wardrobe? Yes! Want to start a business together during a pandemic? Yes! Few people are lucky enough to find a friend who not only brings out your best qualities but also has unwavering faith in one another. Through many different life and career changes, their bond continues to strengthen.

A shared work ethic, commitment to healthy communication and a shared sense of humor gave way to our unplanned business baby, Hive + Honey! Our hope is that Hive + Honey will serve as a place you enjoy coming to feel good, both emotionally and physically. We are so excited to have you join in this community!
