On this Episode of Outside The Boards, I am thrilled to welcome
entrepreneur, founder visionary and this Season’s Outside The
Boards Podcast presenting partner, David Bee. In the realm of
beverage innovation, David Bee stands out as the visionary
founder and CEO of Hive₂O, a company at the forefront of
redefining taste, quality, and sustainability. After a successful
history in the functional beverage space, Bee returned to the
industry with a mission to challenge the compromise often
associated with Ready-to-Drink (RTD) products.

Bee's journey began with a commitment to simplicity, purity, and
sustainability. Recognizing the persistent struggle to find
healthy and great-tasting beverages, he aimed to disrupt the
stagnant norms of the beverage market. The result was Hive₂O, a
brand built on rigorous research, extensive testing, and an
unwavering dedication to delivering an extraordinary taste
experience.

Hive₂O's approach revolves around crafting flavors that appeal to
all palates. Through meticulous attention to detail, the brand
ensures a sensory journey from the first sip to the last. The
emphasis on under-carbonation allows flavors to shine without
being overshadowed, contributing to a unique taste
waterfall.

Acknowledging the evolving consumer landscape, Hive₂O offers both
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Understanding that
preferences vary, Bee's brand provides a sophisticated substitute
or a refreshing alternative, catering to those who desire a
complex taste without the effects of alcohol.

Setting itself apart from industry trends, Hive₂O chose vertical
integration, establishing its production facility in Chicago.
This decision underscores the brand's commitment to maintaining
control over the production process from "Hive to Hand." With a
sleek design reflecting transparency and sustainability, and
honey as the heart of its products, Hive₂O sets a new standard in
the beverage market, proving that excellence is achievable with a
focus on quality and environmental responsibility and using polo
as platform to share the brand’s story and introduce the product
to the world.
