Our Team
Worker Bees, Production Specialists
At Hon's Honey, our production space is called "The Hive," and our production specialists lovingly refer to themselves as "Worker Bees" who are survivors of trauma— addiction, trafficking, generational poverty, and abuse. They are fully invested in the vision of Hon’s Honey and are active in The Well's COR Life Development program, where they are equipped for personal growth, to provide for their families, and to lead in their community. Some Worker Bees will remain with Hon's Honey long-term and move into management positions as we grow. Others will use Hon's Honey as a stepping stone to pursue other opportunities they are passionate about.
They have hope for their future and work toward giving other women who do not yet know their worth and purpose the opportunity to be involved.
Mandy Memmel, Founder & Executive Director
Mary Beth has gotten to spend her career walking with and learning from people who have experienced trauma and violence, and who are courageously working toward safety and wellness.
At Global Refuge, a national refugee resettlement agency, she provided training and technical assistance to refugee employment programs around the country and at Futures Without Violence, again as a national training and technical assistance provider, she helped build safer, more supportive workplaces for survivors of trafficking and violence.
With a master’s in counseling, she believes real change happens when people feel seen and safe enough to bring their full selves to the table. She brings joy, curiosity, and empathy to everything she does. When she's not working, you'll find her hiking, searching for vintage Vogue dress patterns on Etsy, or enjoying coffee and conversation with her husband, daughter, and their tribe of cats.

Bobbie Jenkins, Operations Manager & Head Beekeeper
Bobbie joined the Hon's Honey team as the Production Specialist in December of 2019 and has only seen growth from there. In April 2020, Bobbie accepted the position of Beekeeper while taking multiple certification courses through the University of Canada Saskatchewan, Bowie Upper Marlboro Beekeeper Association, and Beekeeping Year Two and Beyond with Anne Arundel Beekeepers Association. She also continues to attend webinars and beekeeping association meetings to further her knowledge of beekeeping, and now takes classes to become a master Beekeeper!
Some of her highlights of becoming a beekeeper include successfully maintaining the hives, continually having plentiful honey harvests since she began, as well as the opportunity to give back to nature and her community through her work as a beekeeper. One of her dreams for Hon's Honey is for half of our honey supply to be from our own hives and to see more ladies rise, and show interest in beekeeping so that they can experience the healing that beekeeping has brought her.
Bobbie also stepped into the position of Production Manager in February of 2022 where she oversaw the Production Specialists and had the chance to encourage and edify the next woman as she has been spoken into. She now has moved into Operations Manager and it allows other women to rise. She is open to God's guidance in this process. She also dreams of the organization expanding and becoming global in its reach and expanding to women outside of Baltimore City.
