What a great store! I've received gifts in the past from Bee Joyful, and was excited to stumble upon it while in town recently. Bee Joyful is a zero waste shop and refillery, which is such a great model for people looking to be a bit more eco-friendly in their everyday lives. You can bring in your own containers to fill with shampoo, hair gel, laundry/dish detergent, lotion, hand soap, hand sanitizer, and more! Employees are happy to help you out if you need assistance. The range of products that they sell is wide and so cool. I saw produce bags, shampoo and conditioner bars (plastic free is the way to be), bath bombs, bamboo toothbrushes, fabric tea bags, all different kinds of straws (glass, metal, bamboo), brushes to clean your reusable straws, coffee filters, k-cups, beeswax wraps... the list goes on and on. I was seriously in awe of everything they sell here. We ended up getting some laundry detergent sheets and a straw brush to clean our metal straws at home. This is such a great store and would be a good spot to find a unique gift. read more

Everything about Bee Joyful is appealing. Karen, the owner, is lovely, welcoming to all, and has an extremely attractive store. Her shelves are packed with well-made products. That it is zero waste makes it an absolute winner. Sally G. read more

If you care about our planet, this store is amazing. If you don't care about our planet, this store is amazing and you should start caring. There are a bunch of really cool items here for the eco-conscious shopper. Everything ranging from beeswax wraps, reusable straws, toxin-free soaps and shampoos, kombucha and so much more. It's also super cute. I might need a second job for the next time my wife goes back, but this is the kind of shopping you can feel good about. It supports small business and the planet. Win win. read more

We stopped into Bee Joyful again today and the store is named perfectly. It is a very joyful place to go. We met Jessica the owner and learned about several of her products and how they are sourced. (All Locally) Her shop not only offers food wraps, made with local bees wax, but they also have an array of sustainably sourced; soaps, lotions, washes and so much more. We picked up a special gift pack, but added some hand lotion, a refillable bottle and some fire starters. I can't wait to see the new line of local honey they plan to bring in. We love supporting great local shops like this one. read more

Found the perfect zero waste shop downtown! I was just coming in for dishwasher pods and was so happy to see a full variety of products. I brought in my own container but they also sell containers that can be re-filled if you don't have one. I'll definitely come back! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE The perfect amount of crunchy, Bee Joyful caters to the seasoned environmentalist as well as the beginner. With approachable and varied products and friendly staff, everyone should be able to find something to love here. While I only purchased a reusable bag and some dish detergent, I see myself coming back to take advantage of their other eco friendly products, including their cosmetics. So fun! read more

Awful operations & customer service. Online shop consistently out of products. Placed online order, never received. Does not respond to emails. Voice mailbox full, unable to leave message. Had a Kalamazoo resident check into it. Finally received order, albeit months later. And guess what??? It wasn't even what I ordered!!! Not sure how they understand how to run a business. read more

What an amazing place! Really inspiring to see all the zero waste items they have. I purchased some bees wrap today but next time I'll bring my own containers to fill up on soap and shampoo! I thought the prices were very reasonable too read more

An awesome, new innovative shop in Kalamazoo focused on environmentally safe and reusable products that you can use at home or in the office. Owner Jessica is amazing at helping you find products to help fit in your daily life. read more

Handmade and amazing. These wraps the great for cutting down on plastic bags. Tons of options and sizes.

Great idea, using bees wax to make wraps that replace plastic baggies and saran wrap! They're reusable, so you don't have to buy more plastic. That helps the environment and the budget. And, they're made in the U.S.A. read more
