beeswaxwraps – the thoughtful alternative to clingfilm
£14.50Re-usable handmade beeswax food wraps. These wraps are all the buzz for wrapping food as they keep food fresh + moist with no need for clingfilm, plastic bags or boxes nor aluminium foil
Following the suggestion of a local crafter who’d just returned from the Antipodes we just had to introduce these to our ‘hive products’ range.
Designed to wrap sandwiches, cover any food or leftovers, with the exception of raw meat or fish. Either wrap the food or cover containers with these flexible cloths. Use the warmth of your hands to seal the wrap. Beeswax does not absorb smells nor bacteria which is why these are so perfect!
They are reuseable, just wash in cool or cold water with a little mild detergent and air dry
When your wrap looks worn out simply place on a piece of baking parchment in a cool oven (110 0c) for a few minutes to refresh. Use and re-use – save the planet 1 wrap at a time!
Using the beeswax from Keith’s bees in the Surbiton area, his sister Alison is making them for us as well as us at ‘head hive’! Whilst we were planning the making of these Alison and her family had come to the conclusion, as so many of us have, that we must reduce our consumption and thoughtless use of plastic. Robin’s mother used wax cloth in the kitchen, but I didn’t find it until clearing her kitchen after she passed away and couldn’t work out what it was, that was over 35 years ago and now we know!
Made from 100% cotton and pure local beeswax – nothing else
3 pack contains 3 wraps, Bee Haven fabric design £14.50
30 x 30cm – great for sandwiches, cold meats etc
25 x 25cm – covering bowls, wrapping cheeses etc
20 x 20cm – wrapping individual fruit, onions, vegetables and small bowls!

2061Leather cream
£5.50A traditional recipe, similar to our furniture cream, embracing the protecting qualities of beeswax and natural turpentine.
Perfect for all those handbags, shoes and the sofa.
The effect of this cream is long lasting and helps retain that ‘just bought look’, healing those scuffs too.
This cream feeds as well as allowing the leather to breathe producing a fabulous sheen.
As this is a traditional combination the ingredients may separate slightly so; a good shake before use and then dab the liquid onto a soft cloth, allow the cream to be absorbed and then buff with a fresh soft cloth.
now sold in 100ml bottle

Fascinating Facts Tea Towel – two coloured – temporarily out of stock – early 2022 hopefully!
£9.50We just had to share some fascinating facts with everyone about our clever bees.
Robin is the artist and drew our bee as well as the ‘skep’ a traditional beehive made from straw and we designed the text to follow a flying bee. Facts such as ‘a queen bee can lay up to 1500 eggs a day’ need sharing.
This is the second incarnation, a development of our first range and these are hand screen printed, on unbleached cotton, in Norfolk by Witts Design, our neighbour at a number of markets – we love to collaborate! https://www.wittsdesign.com/
Presented tightly folded with a corrugated card and label around this is a great present for anyone interested in bees.
We did sell one to someone who was going to embroider and paint the towel to use in the classroom – what a great idea!

Natural Lip and Cuticle Balm – the simplest and most effective combination
£6.50Made to a traditional recipe combining our own beeswax with almond oil and a splash of vitamin E (wheat germ) – possibly the simplest and most effective lip and cuticle balm there is. We have deliberately omitted fragrance or flavour as we believe that folk are tempted to lick their lips more creating a vicious circle.
Our lip balm gently moisturises leaving a fine film of protective beeswax leaving lovely soft lips, just as nature intended.
The balm in the tin is softer than that in the stick so this is also superb for massaging into cuticles too.
Del Brown wrote a superb review about our lip balm – click on his name to read in full.
“….Not everyone wants a lip product with a fruity fragrance, so being fragrance free, both men and women feel comfortable using it. Unlike petroleum based lip balms that just form a barrier on the skin, the natural oils and bees wax in this product penetrate deep into the skin, hydrating dry lips and making them feel soft and comfortable.
This easy to use, fuss free lip balm is a winter essential and fully Del Brown Approved!”
15ml tin – £ 6.50 (a firmer lip balm is available in a stick).

Furniture cream
£9.00This is from a traditional and much loved recipe providing a long lasting solution to retaining the good looks and longevity of your wood. Using this cream will remind you of past times !
Turpentine and beeswax are a classic combination for bringing out the best in natural materials and wood will be left with a soft sheen and we add a hint of lavender too.
Apply with a soft cloth and rub in circular motion across the surface. This cream cleans too so the cloth will become discoloured. Leave to soak in and then buff with a fresh cloth.
It’s only necessary to use this cream every few months or if your wood is looking lack lustre and between times dust with a dampened cloth.

Beeswax dinner candle pair, handrolled with fine glittered spiral edge
£8.50These we love to make by decorating a sheet of ‘foundation’ wax with the finest dusting of glitter which highlights the spiral top to the wax and then hand rolling each candle.
It’s a traditional activity, cathartic and lovely for the hands. Foundation is the sheet of wax, imprinted with the honeycomb and given to the bees as a base for them to draw their honeycomb. For bees to make wax they have to consume vast amounts of honey; for 1lb weight of wax bees need to eat 5lb weight of honey (having collected and created it first of course). So we help them along by providing the sheet wax in a frame.
On opening the natural beeswax candles they smell beautifully of honey. The coloured options lose this sweetness during the processing and retain all the natural goodness of beeswax candles.
Beeswax is the ‘King’ of all waxes, it burns slowly with a perfect flame and beeswax are the only candles which apparently don’t pollute the atmosphere. In fact, they produce a negative ion when they burn thus making dust and pollen drop form the air. Are these the perfect candles to burn for hay fever sufferers? We think so!
