  • The Bee's Knees was started in 2017 out of a desire to provide the city of St. John's with sustainable, low waste, and healthy lifestyle options. You will find carefully curated zero waste kitchen items, Earth friendly cleaning options, ethically made children's toys, and a wide range of items handcrafted by talented local makers.

local, sustainable, intentional

The Travel Bug and The Bee's Knees are two separate stores located in downtown St. John's, Newfoundland. We call ourselves "sister stores" because we are owned and operated by the same crew. In order to make online shopping easier, you will find everything here in one spot!

Since 2005, we have been working to provide our customers with high quality, ethically sourced, hand crafted, and earth friendly products for living and travelling with more intention and awareness.

Are you visiting downtown St. John's? Pop by the shop! We would love to meet you.
