"FROM HIVE TO HOME: HANDCRAFTED BEESWAX TREASURES."
Beeswax: Nature’s Timeless Gift
Beeswax is a beautiful byproduct of the honey harvest, and one of the oldest natural materials still used today. Honeybees create wax from special glands on their abdomen, forming small flakes that they use to build and repair the honeycomb inside their hive. When we harvest honey, we gently slice off the wax cappings that seal each cell. Before we do anything else with the wax, we return it to the bees and let them clean it thoroughly, removing any remaining honey or pollen, just as they’ve done for generations.
Crafted with Care, Preserving Purity & Scent
Once the bees have finished their part, we carefully collect the cleaned cappings and slowly melt them down to preserve their purity and natural honey scent. This wax is the base for all of our handmade beeswax items, each crafted with care right here on our farm. You’ll find it in our blackened beeswax ornaments, which are rich in natural color and full of primitive charm, as well as our candles, wax melts, and convenient little beeswax thread nuggets.
Celebrating Bees & Traditional Craftsmanship
Each piece we make celebrates the quiet work of our bees and the old-fashioned craft of beeswax artistry. Whether you’re lighting a candle, enjoying the scent of a wax melt, or gifting a one-of-a-kind ornament, you’re bringing home a product that’s part of the full hive-to-home story. Simple, beautiful, and steeped in tradition, that’s what beeswax means to us.
Our Bee Promise
Honey bees are the most prolific honey makers on the planet. We make sure that we only take the surplus honey and beeswax from the hives so that our bees can thrive! If you have any questions about how we collect honey, beeswax, or any of our products, contact us today and we’ll be sure to get back to you!
❓ WHY IS MY BEESWAX ITEM WHITE? Over time, you might notice a delicate white film called “bloom” forming on your beeswax—this is a natural patina that only occurs on 100% pure beeswax and is often treasured by candle lovers. If you prefer a polished look, it’s easy to wipe away with a soft cloth or a quick pass of warm air from a blow dryer.
