Local Spotlight HIVE AND HONEY
Meet Summer Rose and Chrissy Ivie, co-owners of Hive + Honey, a fitness boutique offering Pilates and group fitness. Located in the Highland Park West shopping center on Hancock Drive, H+H opened in April 2021. Hive + Honey has something for everyone. A great place to shop for gifts, enjoy an infrared sauna, take a Pilates or group fitness class. The shop contains many womenowned, local products such as Her New Tribe, Deux Moons candles and Folk Botanicals. Summer lives in Rosedale and her two daughters attend Highland Park Elementary. Having spent lots of time at Crenshaw’s and the surrounding areas, she would check in from time to time to see if space was available at Highland Park West. When she learned about an availability, she recruited her dear friend Chrissy to join her in this venture. They both love being in the neighborhood and enjoy that it has been a gathering place for several surrounding neighborhoods. It is what they hoped would happen when they opened! Summer and Chrissy went into creating their business with wide eyed optimism and a flexible mindset. With the Covid pandemic, many businesses were having to to reinvent themselves. Since they were starting during that time, they didn’t feel like they had to follow any formula. It allowed them to grow organically and see what made sense for them and the community they are serving. Navigating the different mask policies was a challenge. It was confusing for everyone and pleasing everyone was impossible. At H+H, clients are everything. They help create the positive energy Summer and Chrissy have strived for. A high moment is always when a client shares that they feel welcome and comfortable in the studio. That is always their number one goal. H+H wants people to know the studio is a warm and inviting environment and hope people feel comfortable trying new things as a result. H+H instructors are thoughtful and creative. Clients are encouraged to try different instructors and times until they find what works for them. Hive + Honey offers a discount to teachers and nurses in hopes that those that work nearby will be able to participate in a class before or after work.
