ABOUT THE BEE

Welcome, Bee friends. The Foggy Bee has been operating since 2023 as a creative retreat, art studio and gathering place. It's been a place to ground and find rhythm. It has also had the honor of showcasing the unique talents of local Downeast Maine artists.  It provided a necessary pause for Francie, the founder of The Bee and owner of 195 Ficketts Point Rd., Milbridge, ME 04658, after acquiring the property in a divorce settlement. 

Francie speaks of The Bee as a "helluva glass of lemonade." It has been that. The ginormous addition on the once tiny cottage was left sitting less than half finished in 2021 after she chose herself over a destructive, dysfunctional marriage. It's been the catalyst for finding herself as a woman whose creative soul was buried underneath distorted perceptions and beliefs for far too long. The Foggy Bee interestingly has also been a way back for others to find themselves. Bigger connections have occurred in this warm and inviting space on a magical site overlooking the water. It truly has been, and still is, a place to heal.

It's time for a new owner to move forward and take what was created for healing by and through The Foggy Bee to it's next life supporting some other purpose. It is currently for sale as 195 Ficketts Point Rd. in Milbridge, Maine and will be officially closing its doors to the public on July 31, 2026, regardless of whether it has sold at that time.  

Ever dreamed of owning a location on the water? How about a commercial space that supports others?  Or a multi-family vacation rental property? All of these options are possible at 195 Ficketts Point Rd.
