Reneata and Hardison Collins have sold the Beehive in Mancos to Christina Lawrence.<\/span>Sam Green\/Cortez Journal<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

When you step into the Beehive in Mancos, you are entering the world of Reneata and Hardison Collins \u2013 and it\u2019s a pretty eclectic world.<\/p>\n

The shop in historic downtown Mancos is filled with unusual gifts and collectibles.<\/p>\n

The couple opened the shop in Mancos nine years ago and will soon leave Mancos for Florida, but the couple recently announced that the Beehive will stay.<\/p>\n

Christina Lawrence will assume ownership of the Beehive on April 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am their best customer,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cI buy all of my gifts from this store, and I love the skin-care products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawrence is married to Nick Lawrence, is the mother of two, a doctor of audiology, a speech-language pathologist and owner of the Lawrence Speech and Hearing Clinic in Mancos.<\/p>\n

When Lawrence heard that the Collins family was relocating and that Beehive might fade away, she saw something she had been looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was craving a creative outlet and jumped at the chance to partner up with Beehive,\u201d Lawrence said.<\/p>\n

After years in the speech and hearing field, the New Orleans native wanted to express her creative side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medical business I have is very important to me, but I wanted to be part of the ordering, managing and creating involved with Beehive,\u201d Lawrence said.<\/p>\n

Reneata Collins, who offers facials at the store, will return to Mancos from Florida once every eight weeks to help out with facials.<\/p>\n

Lawrence also wants to add a few things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to eventually add a fabric line, quirky gift wrapping paper and more masculine products. We will have a suggestion box because I really want the community to be a part of the vision,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

With that community spirit in mind, Beehive (former owners and new) will be hosting a meet-the-new-owner-celebration titled \u201cBeehive Forever!\u201d at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31.<\/p>\n

The Beehive began with wind-up toy robots, French soaps and candles and spa services. It also carries children\u2019s books, letter-press cards, journals, jewelry, totes and limited-edition Mancos T-shirts.<\/p>\n
