You don’t need a huge following to have something worth sharing.

Maybe you’re building a business from scratch. Maybe you’re creating something after work, turning a skill into a craft, or finally giving that idea you’ve had for years a proper shot.

That’s who’s in the hive.

We’re here for the people doing the work, figuring things out as they go, and building something they genuinely care about.

Big following not required. Perfect story not required.

Just something worth buzzing about.

You saw how Jason Lee started. This is the part founders don’t post about.

Freedom and a healthy work life balance were the whole reason he started. But as he puts it, owning a business sometimes asks for more than that.

Business is always hard, he says. You are always trying to reach the next stage, and every time you do, it comes with a whole new list of problems.

Ask him if he would succeed if he had to start again, and the answer is yes. Not because it would be easy, but because he knows every mistake he made along the way and exactly how he got to where he is now.

The hard years were never wasted. They became the map.

He calls himself a positive, optimistic business person, and after everything it took to get here, it shows.

Everyone has something worth buzzing about.

Maybe it’s a business they built from the ground up. Maybe it’s a passion they turned into a career, a side hustle that became something bigger, or an idea they’re still figuring out as they go.

That’s what BeesNest Connect is about.

We want to meet the people behind the work. The creators, founders, artists, makers, side hustlers and local businesses doing something they care about, and give their stories a little more room to travel.

There’s no set formula. Sometimes it’s a Reel. Sometimes it’s a conversation. Sometimes it’s simply a story worth sharing.

Because behind every business, there’s a person. And behind every person, there’s a story.

Welcome to the hive.

A little piece of France, right here in Sydney. 🇫🇷🥐

When Alex moved to Australia, he missed something that had always been part of everyday life back home: fresh baguettes, croissants, and the familiar feeling of a French neighbourhood bakery.

That feeling became the idea behind Lavie & Belle Bakery .

Today, with locations in Surry Hills and Rose Bay, Alex continues to share a taste of home with Sydney.

Because sometimes, the things we miss inspire us to create something worth sharing.

This is the story of Alex and Lavie & Belle.

Jinky always knew, at the back of her heart, that she would end up running her own business. Long before she started working, she was already selling brownies and DVDs, with Marvin beside her on buying trips to Quiapo.

Marvin grew up in Mindanao. Jinky was born in La Union and raised in Pampanga. They met at New Era University, both studying accountancy, and after the boards and their wedding, built their careers in accounting firms in Singapore before migrating to Australia.

For years they talked about what they might start. Then COVID hit, and the opportunity finally came. The first gap they saw was access to groceries, so they opened Suki Kart. And their store needed at least one hotdog on the shelf.

That is how they found Super Mighty Hotdog, Australian made but with a taste straight from home, like waking up in the Philippines and sitting down to breakfast. When the chance came to acquire the brand, they grabbed it straight away, proud to be the ones selling it. Then they rebranded it so anyone who spots it knows exactly what they are getting.

She is the business minded risk taker and he is the risk averse one, a mix they say works because two risk takers would never get anything done.

Everyone wants a tattoo until the needle comes out.

Meet Mattia Colombo, a tattoo artist who spends his days turning skin into art, and fielding the same question from every first timer. How much is this going to hurt?

The answer depends on where you get it. Arms are the easy pick, just not near the wrist or armpit, and legs work too, as long as you stay on the outside. Ribs, he says, are about as sensitive as it gets for most people, though pain is personal. What barely registers for one client can have the next one in tears.

After 16 years behind the needle, he has seen it all, including a young client who cried through an entire face tattoo and asked to split it into two sessions rather than push through in one go.

Ask him if getting tattooed is addictive and he does not hesitate. The last tattoo doesn’t exist, he says. Most people are already planning the next one before the current one is finished. His advice to anyone starting young, slow down, and think it through before committing to something permanent.

Tattoo artist and storyteller, just with a more permanent canvas.

He moved to Australia thinking life would be easy, a fresh start, a better future. What followed instead: seven years as an OFW, working 12 to 14 hour days, seven days a week, as a cleaner, dishwasher and warehouse assistant.

"I felt stuck. I felt thirsty, not just for water, but for a deeper meaning," JR Mallari says of that stretch, in his own words, straight from his Instagram. Uhaw sa purpose. Uhaw sa growth. Uhaw sa pagbabago. That's where Uhawna was born.

Today, Uhawna isn't just a tumbler brand: it's based in Australia, inspired by the Philippines, and built on a promise: 1 bottle for 1 Filipino with access to clean water. "It's my way of giving back to our roots and making a real impact," JR says.

This is hydration with heart. This is Uhawna.

Maychelle didn’t set out to build an empire, she just kept noticing the same thing: a professionally cleaned home changes how you feel about the space you live in, and too few cleaning services actually delivered on that promise. So she started one that would.

Bruno came on as co-owner not long after, taking operations and client coordination off her plate so the standard never slipped as the business grew. Together they built a team now trusted across Sydney’s Northern Beaches, North Shore and City of Sydney, handling everything from regular home cleans to end-of-lease turnovers, offices, childcare centres and Airbnbs.

Every job still runs on the same rule they started with: a signed, service-specific checklist and a police-checked, fully insured team, because reliability was never meant to be optional.

That’s the story behind the over 100 families who now call Made in Wolls first, and the 4.9 out of 5 rating that comes with it.

Numbers don't lie. People do.

Nearly ten years ago, Jason was interning at a digital media agency on the Sunshine Coast, learning a craft he'd eventually build a business around. He didn't set out chasing an empire, he wanted freedom: to work on his own hours, on his own terms, without someone else deciding what his day looked like.

His first clients weren't strangers. They were friends and family, many of them running construction businesses around Sydney, and word of mouth did what advertising never had to. That referral network became the foundation of Corporate Digital Solutions, and construction is still the industry that makes up the bulk of his client list today, alongside gyms, real estate agents and online coaches he's picked up along the way.

Not everyone believed in the decision early on, and some of his own family still don't fully understand it. He kept building anyway.

What's kept the agency standing nearly a decade later isn't luck. It's a rule Jason holds every single campaign to: before Corporate Digital Solutions signs a client, the team runs a full KPI and metrics report first, testing whether the target is actually realistic. If it isn't, he'll say so and turn the client away rather than promise a result he can't deliver.

It's why he doesn't chase every deal that comes his way, and why the deals he does take almost always turn into long-term relationships.

Save this before you say yes to your next client. Where hustle meets honey.
