Over 15 years ago Scott kramer and Steve Zumoff had an idea, and idea that became the coffeshop and community we call home, this idea was the Beehive. The idea for what is a second home, to many people, often reffered to as a second living room came to Scott and Steve after having traveled the country together. The pair followed Jerry Garcia and slept in outdoor camps, and on beachs. Most of their conversations about business endevours had taken place in coffeshops, thus the Beehive was formed. |
