Humans, bears, grizzlies and honey-lovers all over the world, welcome to this small page of mine. Of course this site seems rather pitiful for a plush-bear of my standards, yet sadly it will have to do for now.
Without doubt I assume that you already know me, due to the popular 'Honey Grizzly Weekly' magazine issued for teddy-bears of all ages and social standings world-wide, as I have already written several articles for their headline stories additionally to moderating an ongoing periodical appearing column called 'Improving Your Life With Honey'. Aside of that I run a global honey company, which name is not to be announced on this site. Despite that I'm sure you know it already...

A few of the questions that I get asked periodically are usually about how I manage to upkeep this perfect gleam to my fur. Well the answer to this is actually rather simple, not due to the help of my useless human living together with me but because of a simple advise I that I once received and since then cherished.
Four easy rules everybody should follow who values their appearance as well as their mental capabilities!
  1. Eat Honey!
  2. Drink Honey!
  3. Think Honey!
  4. Bath in Honey!
Those four steps will improve your life greatly, but enough of that for now. (Check out my column for more tips on that!)

A few other, totally different questions that I usually get concern my origin and parentage. Many people want to know how I am connected to Winnipeg Pooh, or Mister Sanders as he was called a long time ago before signing a major deal with Walt Disney, now that I openly commented on my Scottish heritage.
Without trying to neglect the connection to my great-great-great-great-granduncle Winnie the Pooh, I am proudly wearing a kilt bearing the tartan of the family of MacLeod of Lewis; even right now together with my two pendants - one being made from honey-jade.

Mead, Whisky and sweets in the background - perfect!

Usually it is rather straining living together with an ignorant human like my own, yet after me having set things straight every once in a while we usually get along quite well. I'm occupied with work for most of the time after all. And in my spare time like to enjoy sitting on my pillow next to my pet honey-drop, reading either a good book about the psychological aspects of the old Winnie the Pooh texts or slowly skipping through the pages of a biography of Sean Bean, who is my favorite actor.

Of course the essence of my work does not remain to be unhonored. I already have received a lot of praise for one of my top stories for 'Honey Grizzly Weekly' covering many aspects of the importance and the responsibility that modern-day beekeepers bear, not only for the economy of a country but also the environment as a whole.
One of those honors that I have received so far is a piece of art now adorning the wall opposite to my shelf.


It is inspired by Andy Warhol and a one of a kind piece. It is currently not for sale, although I don't think that this will stop the constant stream of people asking.

I humbly thank everybody for having a look this page. I will make sure to instruct my human to expand it further, so that my glory may shine forth pushing his pitiful literature aside, making sure the spotlight is on the right person... being me of course. But now back to work...
Nevertheless, even if it doesn't seem that way, the honey business is a rough business, so feel free to buy me a honeypot or two if you like.
