Bee Star originated from a beekeeper's family established in 1950. Founder Beekeeper Shen was renowned for his professional beekeeping expertise, consistently maintaining stronger bee colonies and achieving higher product yields than industry standards.
Over four decades, the business expanded through family collaboration, growing to include over 1,000 beekeeping apiaries, honey and royal jelly processing plants, beeswax manufacturing facilities, and beekeeping equipment production. The company established its International Trade Department ten years ago to support global export operations while maintaining strong domestic market presence.
