the story behind the hive
As a female entrepreneur of a growing consulting business working from home 100% of the time, Cara found herself craving connection. With four teenagers and a needy dog at home, finding focus was often a challenge. It all came to a head one day when she struggled to find a quiet space for a private meeting, away from the chaos of garage doors, barking dogs, and teenagers at her door.
After a failed search for a local meeting space, she realized they either felt intimidating—filled with established professionals—or simply didn’t meet the needs of a busy entrepreneur.
A few days later she attended The Atelier Collective, an inspiring event packed with incredible women entrepreneurs and their champions. Inspired by a visioning exercise at the event, Cara decided to harness the energy of over 300 inspiring women in the room and create a luxurious, welcoming co-working space for women—somewhere soft, feminine, and empowering. And the rest is history.
The Apiary came to life because of the belief and support of a strong community. Through manifestation, conversations, courage, ambition, and grit, we built this hive for women to thrive together.
