The hive is full of finds at 2 Busy Bees in Palouse.
PALOUSE -- A new business is open in Palouse.
Starting with a Nov. 28 soft opening, 2 Busy Bees sells a variety of second-hand items from its Palouse Cove Road location.
"It's kind of in my backyard, a portable shed set off the road, with a sign," said Torrey Beeson, owner, who grew up in Palouse, the daughter of late mayor Bruce Baldwin.
With a parking lot set in front, off her back driveway, the operation will be a thrift store with upcycled – creatively re-used -- projects, gifts and some antiques.
"This has not been the best year for starting a business, I'll tell you that," said Beeson, who has worked as a volunteer at Needful Things, the benefit thrift store in Palouse Community Center. "We're gonna give it a go."
The 12x32 foot shed will include some items Beeson gathers from her other business, for which she became licensed for in January – helping people clean out residential spaces.
"We had a couple really good yard sales this spring," Beeson said, noting she has too much inventory to sell just at the seasonal events.
Hours for 2 Busy Bees will be Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
