It’s amazing where life takes you when you say yes. On May 27th, 2021, Queen Bees Kim Allen and Jillian Kelly were featured in an interview on the #ILoveMyWifePodcast We’ll get to the cocktail in just a minute. #ILoveMyWife is a joint effort by spouses Kelli Carpenter and Anne Steele who share insights and anecdotes from their travels, home lives, and guest interviews. Kim and Jillian were delighted to participate and share the story of how Asheville Bee Charmer and their marriage came to bee – just in time to celebrate pride month. At the end of each episode, the “It’s 5 o’ Clock Somewhere!” segment serves as a special gift for the episode’s guest. For the last few minutes of the show, Bert Gallagher, the co-founder of Equality Vodka, comes on to unveil a custom cocktail designed to match the personality of the guest. Bert designed the Bee Charmer Cocktail for us!
