An Upstate mom says people stop her in airports and on the streets to ask her where she got her daughter’s t-shirt. It turns out she designed it to teach character to her two-year-old daughter Lena.
Melissa Patton is the mom behind Bee-Tees. She designs t-shirts, hats, and bags with simple, inspirational thoughts: “Bee Happy”, “Bee Honest.” In six months, she’s gone from selling them in one store in Spartanburg to fifteen around the state. Patton thinks the tough economy has contributed to her success. Patton says, “I think it’s opened a door for this type of product, because people want to get back to basics. They want to get back to talking to their kids and spending time with family.“
