Everyone has been asking when new designs will be coming out … well … a lot has been happening … The Monkey & The Bee got married in July!
We started Monkey & The Bee as a way to potentially help pay for our wedding. We did it! We have had tremendous support from our customers for the past 8 months and are excited to take the next step in our journey with you.
In the news … We were humbled by the request by the Dallas Voice to do an article about our company for this years’ Pride edition.
Instfamous … or at least we felt that way when the article came out. Want to know more about Monkey & The Bee … this is a great article that tells you more about what we are about and how we are involved with the lgbtq community in Dallas.
Most recently, The Bee and Tommy & Glenn, hit the road to set up shop in Longview, Texas at RMC. This was our first venture outside the Big D and boy was it a great trip. We left Dallas on a Friday night a couple weeks ago, drove out to Longview, set up shop, and mingled with the crowd at RMC, then headed back home. It was a long night but well worth it! We had a great time meeting new people and of course selling some tees and tanks!
Everyone at RMC, from the owners, staff, and patrons of the bar were so very welcoming and supportive of Monkey & The Bee. We can’t wait to go back with new designs and styles!
Out and about! Of course, we have been setting up shop all over Dallas for the past couple of months. Some of the great businesses that have allowed us to set up shop include: The Round-Up Saloon & Dance Hall, S4 – The Rose Room @S4, and Cedar Springs Tap House.
The Monkey has been out and about with our Monkey & The Bee GOT ME! bags … hitting the streets and handing out our special promo bags.
You never know when this will be happening or when he’s going to pop up and get you!
Make sure to follow us on Instagram and of course like our Facebook page to see what we are up to next and where we will be.
And last but probably most important to us … we are gearing up new designs for 2017 Dallas Pride Festival (Official) we wanted to reflect on the amazing support we have received from our customers so far this year. We are truly thankful to each and every one of you.
Giving back to the community is very important to us. Although we are a small company (started late last year) we do everything we can to give back in some form or fashion (pun intended) to the community.
So far this year we’ve been able to contribute to:
True Colors Fund
Legacy Counseling
Resource Center
Angie’s Friends
2017 Miss LifeWalk Pageant
As well as gift basket donations to many different fundraisers and benefits.
