Beeswax That Gives Back 

Our Bee Sisters

By purchasing our African beeswax, you can help improve the livelihoods, independence and opportunity for people who are building a future through beekeeping. Through our work with beekeeping initiatives in Africa, we have supported all-female beekeeping initiatives in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria.

Our Bee Sisters gain hands-on beekeeping experience that can help them become more self-sufficient, support their families and build lasting livelihoods.

Beekeeping can generate an income while encouraging people to value and protect the natural environment around them. Healthy bees depend on healthy habitats, and thriving bee populations contribute to biodiversity and food production.

For the women we support, beekeeping and selling beeswax - can mean more than an income. It can help provide food, security, medicine and education for their families, while giving them greater independence and recognition within their communities.

Made by Bees

Beeswax is one of nature's most remarkable materials. Made by honey bees to build their honeycomb, it has been used for generations in candles, polishes, crafts and natural products.

Because beeswax is a natural product, colour and aroma can vary naturally from batch to batch. This is part of the character of genuine beeswax.

Beeswax Candle Making

Beeswax has been used to make candles for centuries and is a wonderful material for traditional candle making.

Use our African beeswax to experiment with dipped candles, moulded candles, rolled candles and creative beeswax candle designs.

If you're completely new to candle making, you can also learn the craft with us in person at The Wild Bee's Beeswax Candle Making Workshop in Surrey.
