What do you think of when you think of the word “Hive”? Bees right? Honey maybe?
If you didn’t know, female bees are the ones that build the hive, they do all the work. So Hive makes me think of industrial women creating a space. And that is why it seemed fitting that I name the store The Aspen Hive.
I was able to open the store because a solid group of local women kept pushing me forward. They told me not to give up, and to keep moving forward. At every bump in the road of this process, a woman was always there to lift me up. And that is what created this place, this little shop, The Aspen Hive.
