Meet Nara Cedeno | The Miami Honey Girl

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nara Cedeno and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nara, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Although I come from a family of self-employed individuals, I was very aware that starting a small business is not a small task at all. I grew up working in the family supermarket business therefore my mind was trained from very young to pursue my own passion and share it with the community.
Honey and Bee products in general are very rare to find straight from the source so I made it my mission to create a platform where neighbors had access to highly essential Bee products that were harvested locally and remained in its original raw state.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Here at HONI LIFESTYLE you’ll find ONLY local Bee products such as Honey, Bee Pollen, Beeswax Lip Balm and Bee supplements such as Bee Booster! amongst many other things…

What makes us special? One word resumes it all.. LOCAL!
None of our products are from abroad. Everything is sourced from our local bee colonies.
In 2020, imports accounted for 70 percent of total honey available for use in the United States.
Why is this terrible?
Because you should be consuming Honey that was harvested within the 50-mile radius in order to enjoy its magnificent benefits.

Getting to where we are was not easy!
Part of our success was thanks to the time we invest in educating our customers on the importance of supporting local bees. They are the backbone of our ecosystem therefore its crucial to support local beekeeping to keep our bees alive and pollinating.

We just want the world to know that Bees are essential for the health of people and the planet!
No Bees = No Life! Bees pollinate the plants that provide us with oxygen and the role of bees as pollinators makes them vital for food supplies.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami has it all! Warm weather, art, night life and beaches. When friends come to visit, I start showing off the local culture.
A Cafecito from Versailles in the morning is a MUST! It gives a nice kick of energy, and you get to experience the distinctive dark look and strong taste of the world-famous Cuban coffee surrounded by our Cuban neighbors which always provide a fun and humorous environment 🙂

Art gazing is also a must! A lovely afternoon can be enjoyed in Bass Museum of Art, the Perez Art Museum Miami, and the Perez Museum of Contemporary Art.

If the day is not too hot you can stop at the Everglades and enjoy an entirely different experience from city life surrounded by nature and natural air.

My favorite ending of my day is always at the beach. When full, the moon gives a sensation of peace.
After admiring the moon and the sky for long hours It feels like an “I Love You” from our magnificent creator.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family in general has been the backbone of my accomplishments. None of them had any Bee knowledge yet they continue to support me in my small business.
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.
Also, my faith has guided me in being a responsible and kind human leading me to treat my customers in an honorable manner.
