The Mrs. Margaret
Named after Margaret Murray-Washington, wife of Black revolutionary Booker T. Washington, the Mrs. Margaret encompasses the best parts of Black history in bourbon making and beekeeping. In 1892, Margaret founded the Lady Beekeepers Club at Tuskegee University, the first of its kind in the country. The organization became one of the most highly regarded programs of the time, paving the way for Black women in the beekeeping industry for decades to come.
