Her Story

About Netta

Netta Caligari is a beekeeper, apitherapist, and founder of The Apiarian Home, an independent home fragrance company inspired by the honeybee hive. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, she creates beeswax-infused natural fragrances using materials from the hive, plants, and essential oils. Her work explores what honeybees can teach us about how we sense the world, while bringing the beauty, rhythms, and wisdom of the hive into everyday spaces.

Netta’s journey into beekeeping and apitherapy began after a major health disruption prompted her to explore hive products such as honey, propolis, and bee pollen. Experiencing a renewed sense of vitality sparked a deeper curiosity about honeybees and their relationship with people and the environment. She eventually became a beekeeper and developed a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness, adaptability, and collective intelligence of the hive. In 2026, she founded The Apiarian Home, drawing on these experiences to create products that encourage intentional living, sensory awareness, restoration, and a stronger connection with nature.

As an entrepreneur, Netta manages every aspect of her business, from product development, formulation, sourcing, packaging, and fulfillment to e-commerce, marketing, sales, customer experience, and operations. She also brings more than a decade of experience in community engagement across higher education, nonprofits, and technology, where she developed relationships and connected people with meaningful initiatives. Committed to giving back, she donates a portion of The Apiarian Home’s sales to support pollinator advocacy and habitat protection. Through her business and educational work, Netta is building a purpose-driven space where wellness, creativity, entrepreneurship, and the preservation of honeybees come together.

Ten minutes with Netta

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to finally betting on myself and following my passion for educating people and making the world of bees and pollinators more accessible. My deeper purpose is to help people and the planet thrive, and it brings me joy when others share how they are noticing bees, planting new things, or becoming more connected to pollinators. I also give back by partnering with the People and Pollinators Action Network and donating a portion of my sales. I practice what I preach, and supporting bees and pollinators is woven into nearly every part of my life.
