Sal and Molly Vitale are local beekeepers in Riverhead. Growing up on a farm sparked an interest in the importance of conservation and the impacts on our planet and started them focusing in on 
beekeeping. Since becoming aware that the population of honeybees has been dwindling for years, Molly gifted Sal with a hive.
“A gift of one hive to Sal as a birthday present has grown into a passion that we both now share,” says Molly. “We started small, making gifts for family and friends of honey and beeswax products, such as soaps and body creams. The feedback from them was (and still is) so positive that we decided to share our products with everyone. One product in particular is the all-natural raw honey, which has amazing health benefits due to the fact that it is unfiltered straight from the hive. The local raw honey is our customers’ number one choice when presented with all our products due to its countless health benefits to the body.”
The secret of beeswax is that it offers a natural way to beautiful, younger-looking, luminous skin. The Miss Molly’s Beeswax lotion locks in moisture and protects your skin using antibacterial properties and vitamin A. It aids natural healing and cell development without clogging pores. Use it as a night cream to reduce fine lines and restore elasticity to your skin or as a conditioning hand cream; it also works well prior to shaving. “Our cream doesn’t stop at hands and face,” says Molly. “It can be used all over the body as well to aid with dry skin. It’s refreshing and invigorating, with a subtle honey almond scent that appeals to both men and women. A little goes a long way because water is not added as it is in most commercially produced creams.”
