Dr. Asli Samanci, the CEO and Co-Founder of BEE&YOU, is known for her dedication to developing natural and healthy products. As a well-known and award-winning food scientist, she combines her expertise in science and nature to create natural and effective food supplements and skincare products with bee products as the main ingredients. Dr. Samanci's commitment to sustainability and preserving bee populations is reflected in her chosen "Contracted Beekeeping" model. This model not only ensures traceability from the beehive to the table but also promotes good beekeeping practices and sustainable sourcing of raw materials. By implementing this model, Dr. Samanci aims to prevent bees from going extinct and to produce bee products in their healthiest, most natural, safest, and highest quality form. Dr. Samanci could achieve Anatolian propolis's highest phenolics and flavonoid content thanks to her innovative and patented extraction method.

Through her efforts, Dr. Asli continues to make significant contributions to the field of natural and healthy bee products.
 Dr. Asli Samanci, the CEO and co-Founder of BEE&YOU, has a remarkable story that motivated her to develop natural and healthy products, merging the power of science and nature.
Dr. Samanci's motivation for creating BEE&YOU comes from a personal experience involving her son's health issues at the age of 5, who was facing recurrent infections that proved to be highly resistant to antibiotics. Unfortunately, his condition worsened when he started experiencing adverse reactions to the prescribed antibiotics, leading to the development of an autoimmune disease known as Henoch-Schöenlein Vasculitis.   Trying to find a solution, Dr. Samanci contacted a pediatrician specializing in autoimmune diseases. The expert recommended trying bee propolis and royal jelly as alternative treatments to support the immune system naturally. Bee propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees known for its potential health benefits. Dr. Samanci decided to try it and sourced raw propolis and royal jelly from one of the beekeepers she knew. However, raw propolis is unsuitable for natural consumption and needs to be correctly extracted.
Driven by her son's condition, Dr. Samanci decided to extract the raw propolis in her lab and give it to her son as drops. To her amazement, her son's health improved significantly within six months of using propolis and royal jelly as a natural immune booster. Propolis and royal jelly increased the number of immune cells in his body, leading to a full recovery.
This transformative experience inspired Dr. Samanci to establish BEE&YOU, a globally recognized brand. She discovered the immune-supporting benefits of propolis and royal jelly in her search for natural solutions. Driven by a commitment to delivering the highest quality products, she pioneered and patented an innovative extraction method for propolis in her laboratory. BEE&YOU's dedication to excellence has obtained international acclaim, receiving over 80 prestigious awards for its pioneering approach, patented extraction method, and Dr. Samanci 's remarkable entrepreneurship.
Recognizing that raw material quality is equally essential as pioneering science, BEE&YOU introduced a unique business model called "Contracted Beekeeping" to secure a sustainable supply of high-quality bee products while working with exclusively contracted beekeepers who only produce for BEE&YOU with good beekeeping practices. Dr. Samanci stated:" With our 550,000 contracted beehives and 5,000 contracted beekeepers, this model allows us to care for the society of beekeepers and their families, as well as trace the quality and origin of our products from the hive to the table while helping the planet to keep green. With our unique contracted beekeeping model, we also support the ecosystem by increasing the number of bees worldwide.'
