This month Eye on the Wyoming Valley highlights another local gem with a visit to The Soapy Bee Country Store & Café in White Haven. What began as a soap-making hobby to help a daughter’s skin condition has grown into a welcoming community hub. The shop features products from many women-owned businesses, while the café offers homemade, from-scratch food and fresh bakery items. Owner Michele’s offers a warm family atmosphere and a beautifully restored historic setting, creating a place where visitors often come for a quick stop—and stay for hours.
