About Us

From a Sketch to a Story

Bellybees began as a dream sketched during a marketing class in Minnesota. With no capital and only imagination, the idea stayed tucked away—until life took an unexpected turn. Years later, while unpacking boxes during a move, I stumbled upon those early sketches. That forgotten dream reignited something in me, and from that spark, Bellybees was born.

What started as a simple idea—to create something meaningful for children—grew into a mission-driven brand built on love, learning, and connection.

The Heart Behind Bellybees

As a mom of two, I’ve always wanted to give my children the best—not only in what they eat, but in how they explore and experience the world. Like many parents, I’ve struggled with the growing presence of screens in daily life. I wanted my kids to have the kind of childhood I cherished—one filled with creativity, curiosity, and hands-on play.

That vision shaped Bellybees into what it is today: a brand dedicated to fueling healthy bodies and curious minds.

Our Journey

Bellybees began as a baby food company, rooted in quality, nutrition, and care. With a background in food technology and early childhood education, I wanted to bridge two essential worlds: what children eat and how they grow.

Our journey started in the kitchen, crafting baby food that was safe, nutritious, and made with love. Every meal was designed not just to feed—but to nourish developing bodies and growing curiosity.

We chose Sri Lanka as our pilot market—a place close to our hearts and our roots—and Bellybees quickly became one of the fastest-growing baby food brands in the country, winning several awards for innovation and quality. That success reaffirmed what we believed from the start: when you combine science, heart, and purpose, families notice the difference.

As we grew, so did our vision. Parents wanted more than healthy meals—they wanted meaningful ways to engage their children. So, we expanded our world to include screen-free educational products designed to inspire creativity, play, and learning.

Today, Bellybees proudly offers a complete ecosystem for childhood—from first bites to first books.
