Dr. Asli Samanci Receives Asia-Pacific Women Entrepreneur Award for Innovation and Sustainability

New York, United States – Dr. Asli Samanci, the visionary founder of BEE&YOU, has been honored with the Asia-Pacific Women Entrepreneur Award by the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI). This prestigious award recognizes her groundbreaking contributions to sustainability, innovation, and ethical business practices in the natural health sector.

Dr. Samanci’s entrepreneurial journey is deeply rooted in both her academic expertise and personal experience. With a master’s degree in food science and a doctorate in biology, she has over 20 years of experience in studying the benefits of bee products. Throughout her career, Dr. Samanci has authored numerous scientific publications and led European-level research and development projects, all of which helped lay the foundation for her entrepreneurial path.

The story of BEE&YOU began when Dr. Samanci’s young son was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and repeatedly treated with antibiotics, ultimately leading to further health complications. Seeking a natural remedy, a doctor recommended propolis, a powerful bee product known for its immune-boosting properties. However, Dr. Samanci found that most propolis products available in the market were of questionable quality or effectiveness.

Determined to provide a solution, Dr. Samanci, alongside her husband, a beekeeper, began developing her own propolis extraction method. Using raw propolis sourced directly from trusted beekeepers, she created a unique process to remove beeswax and preserve the bioactive compounds necessary for health benefits. This patented extraction method, which is now the only one of its kind in the United States, was the cornerstone of BEE&YOU’s success.

Since its founding, BEE&YOU has grown into a globally recognized brand known for its commitment to producing high-quality, natural products that promote health while supporting sustainability. The company’s products are manufactured in an FDA-inspected facility with certifications including BRC, IFS, SEDEX, and Organic, ensuring adherence to the highest safety and quality standards.

A key element of BEE&YOU’s success is its innovative Contracted Beekeeping Model, which involves partnering with over 5,000 beekeepers who manage 550,000 hives. This model not only guarantees a sustainable supply of high-quality bee products but also provides beekeepers with new equipment, hives, and training, supporting their livelihoods and promoting ethical and sustainable beekeeping practices. The initiative contributes to the long-term health of bees and their ecosystems, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

Today, BEE&YOU’s products are sold in more than 40 countries, with the company having earned over 85 awards for its innovation, sustainability, and ethical practices. Dr. Samanci’s recognition with the Asia-Pacific Women Entrepreneur Award highlights her role in shaping a company that prioritizes quality, sustainability, and social responsibility.

“I am deeply honored to receive the Asia-Pacific Women Entrepreneur Award,” said Dr. Samanci. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire BEE&YOU team, as well as our commitment to creating natural, effective products that support health and the environment. Our mission is to empower people around the world to lead healthier lives by providing them with the benefits of bee products, produced in a way that is ethical, sustainable, and scientifically proven.”

As BEE&YOU continues to grow, Dr. Samanci’s vision remains focused on making high-quality, sustainable bee products accessible to people worldwide. Her leadership has positioned the company at the forefront of the natural health industry, providing consumers with products they can trust for their health and wellness.
