Think of each bee as a cell in a body and the hive as the body, the propolis is what protects them from disease.
- Bees Wax: Unlike most beekeepers we do not treat our bees with any chemicals, so our wax is completely free of contaminants. You can use bees wax for many purposes, including candle making and making creams and lotions.
- Honey: Natural, pure, local honey is known to be beneficial for all sorts of ailments, especially hayfever. Unlike many commercial honeys you will find in the supermarket, our honey is not heated or pasturized, and nothing is added to it. It comes in its natural form either as cut comb or we can put it into jars for your culinary enjoyment. Think of how each bee may visit 70,000 flowers in its lifetime to produce just 1 gram of honey! This truly is precious stuff.
