About us
Hello, we have been keeping bees in the gardens of our Cottage for a few years now and have enjoyed immensely learning to look after and care for them. We pride ourselves in harvesting the wonderful products the bees produce for us.
Currently we have a number of hives producing lots of lovely sweet honey from the gardens, fields and hedgerows around Maresfield in East Sussex.
In addition to the honey we also help the bees by collecting the older beautiful wax the bees produce as part of our yearly routine of replacing old wax with new. We filter in this in various different ways to make it wonderfully clean and this is then used to make Beeswax Wraps and Candles. Our Beeswax Food Wraps and Bags are made from 100% Beeswax with an added blend of jojoba oil and pine resin which is then impregnated into our lovely 100% cotton material to make our amazing food wraps.
You can use your beeswax wraps to wrap bread, a block of cheese or cover a bowl. Infact there are loads of foods you can cover with the wraps and once you have one you will realise exactly how many uses they have. Above all, you will also be doing your bit to help rid the world of single use plastics!
We are very passionate about the honey bee conservation and are members of various groups together with the British Bee Keepers Association https://www.bbka.org.uk
All the profit we make from our products go back into looking after the bees and ensuring they are well cared for.
Bee Happy!

Beeswax Wraps and Bags
Our Wraps
Our Beeswax Wraps are handmade by us by using 100% Cotton, Pine Resin, jojoba Oil and our own beautiful beeswax.
Why they are handmade by us!
We hand make all our beeswax wraps to ensure you get the longest lasting beeswax wrap possible. Because we cut the fabric before we wax it, the edges are sealed by the wax so you don’t end up with wraps that begin to fray after a few washes. We also infuse our wax mixture into the cotton, making sure all the fibres of the fabric have completely absorbed the wax mixture. This ensures the wax does not begin to crumble from your wraps after only a few washes.
Why Beeswax Wraps?
- 100% natural - Compared to cling film, our Beeswax Wraps are all natural so no nasties will leach into your food whilst its being stored.
- Keeps your food fresh - The combination of natural ingredients with the cotton fabric allows our wraps to breathe, making sure your food stays fresh for longer. You will find that when wrapped in our Beeswax Wraps you will get 3-4 more days out of your loaf of bread, your greens and herbs will stay nice and crunchy for at least a week and your sandwiches won’t be all sweaty when you unwrap them come lunch time.
- Clingy but in a good way - Pine resin gives our wraps a natural adhesive making sure your food is sealed tight, the warmth from your hands helps mould the wraps to give a strong seal. And they really do stay sticky even after you have used and washed them over and over again.
- Reusable - Rather than using cling film or foil that you throw away after one use, our reusable food wraps can simply be washed in cold water with a little bit of soap and they are ready to roll again.
- Biodegradable - Once you have used your wrap to the max you can pop it on your compost or you can twist up and use as a firelighter.
