Jenna York

Jenna York is a Journeyman beekeeper and fashion designer based in Charleston, SC. She spent over 20 years operating Jennythreads Studio, sewing artistic apparel for stylish women. At a 2023 Women in Beekeeping panel discussion, she heard women beekeepers' complaints about their bee suits: ill-fitting and hot, oversized and uncomfortable.She shot up jer hand and said, "I';; design one." Cheers all around the room!

She set about to reinvent the beekeeping suit specifically for women. With a 2024 grant from the South Carolina Beekeepers Association, she spent a year creating an innovative new suit just for us girls, sewing prototypes, wearing them into her own apiary, streamlining design and eliminating vulnerabilities, .She launched Jeometry Beewear™ in March 2025 and is currently taking suit preorders at jeometrybeewear.com, on track to be manufactured in North Carolina for delivery later this summer.
