beeswaxwraps – the thoughtful alternative to clingfilm
£14.50
Re-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!
2 pack contains 2 large same size wraps, Bee Haven fabric design £14.50

propolis cream with honey and beeswax (aka propolis salve)
£13.00 – £64.00An effective face and body cream with propolis which soothes, heals and breaks the itch scratch cycle.
Propolis is the most amazing ingredient with anti viral, anti fungal and anti microbial and anti bacterial properties
We made this cream to meet the needs of people with many varied skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis and hives.
Bees protect their hives with this sticky resinous material collected from the sap of trees. It has been used forever to aid in the healing of wounds which is why we were keen to make this cream.
Our own propolis tincture incorporated into our fragrance free Fab Face Cream formulation will transfer these qualities to our skin.
Prior to certification we trialed this for 24+ months – only on human friends – and their feedback was incredibly positive.
People with psoriasis, itchy skin and eczema have reported real and lasting benefits and are now repeat customers.
Young people with acne and psoriasis have found it immensely helpful too.
Last summer, whilst tending our bees I was stung by both a bee+ some nettles. I always react badly to both. So, practising what I preach, I applied this cream and had not one minute’s reaction from either sting – how exciting is that? Also applied to treat a burn whilst making the BeeswaxWraps and the pain vanished SO quickly!

Beeswax large stumpy candle dipped
£10.00 – £18.50Hand dipped in a workshop in Alison’s home county of Cumbria with English beeswax. This is a traditional method of dipping a length of taut wick into molten wax, removing it, allowing the wax to cool and repeating multiple times to build up thin layers of wax and eventually creating these superb candles.
On opening these candles smell beautifully of honey.
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!
Beeswax candles can develop a ‘bloom’ it is a natural process of beeswax, ageing and environment creates a milky and matt finish on the wax. A bloom is preferred by Americans apparently. If your candles develop a bloom and you prefer them looking shiny, then all that’s needed is to rub gently with a fine cloth and voila!
20.4 x 4.4 cm or 8″ x 1 3/4 in old money
burn time c 24 hours

Soft Foot Intensive Cream Fragrance Free for Sensitive skin
£9.00 – £22.00This intensive and luxurious foot cream really hits the spot for hard working feet with the addition of 10% urea, it is absorbed easily, leaving your feet feeling supple and pampered. The honey and beeswax ensure that even the weariest feet are revitalised in seconds.
We were asked to make this by a podiatrist who had tried our Silky Hand Cream and realised its effect but she stressed that any good foot cream must have the urea content. It took a year to find a supplier and we were given the thumbs up – it really does work!
Urea not only softens all that hard skin but is also good for chilblains too. This Fragrance Free cream is great for those with sensitive skin.
International award winner! We are delighted that this cream meets the criteria for the Natural Health Magazine INTERNATIONAL Awards. In 2018 it was Highly Commended in the Sensitive Skin Range. We were thrilled to have our our free from ethos validated in this way.

Ann Brown
These are really pretty and work surprisingly well. I’ve used and washed them many times but they aren’t showing any sign of wear and still smell beautifully of honey. And I’ve saved yards of cling film!
admin
That is great to hear Ann, we’ve been using our prototypes for over 2 years now, and have only needed to ‘refresh’ them in the oven a couple of times.
I wrapped a cut up apple on Sunday then unwrapped it 24 hours later and it was still fresh to eat, with only the slightest discolouration, I was travelling and the wrap folded into smallest space unlike an empty re-usable plastic box.
Love them and the lack of plastic wasted!
Kerena
These wraps are so great I’m back to buy my 2nd lot!
admin
that’s good to hear Kerena, thanks for letting us know. We’re still using our prototypes after 2 years regular use ………..
Jan Burrell
I love these!
Such cheerful designs, and great that on my trips round London I don’t have to carry an empty lunchbox all afternoon, just a neatly folded piece of wax fabric that fits in a pocket
admin
we so agree Jan, delighted you’re enjoying using the wraps, remember they can be refreshed in the oven after a few months of use
Stephanie Skarratt
I absolutely love these wraps! So versatile, wash – re-use, wash re-use etc.. really good value & very pretty designs! Thank you!
Amy
Beautiful designs. I bought a lovely pack of 3 as a birthday gift but they seem very well made and durable 🙂
Jill McGrady
I bought 2 sets of wraps from your stall at Richmond market last year. They are great, so useful, hygenic, colourful and easy to clean. I am going to purchase another pack, or 2!
