farmers market!

we are just about to head to the farmers market in orangeville!

this is not only the place to get wonderful local produce but also where we see the local bee keeper that we buy our wax from. we usually order 120lbs of wax from him, all from his own bees! and i'm going to tell him we need more! i'm very excited about this because it means more candles to sell to our friends and family but also the local community!

but i should run....we are about to leave!

blessed bee, melissa

here we are again!


it has been quite a while since i last posted and quite alot has changed!

the family has moved to hockley valley, where we set up shop in my parents garage, and are busy making our lovely bees wax candles. kade is loving spending time with his grandparents and exploring the vast land my parents own. he is growing fast, and next month he will be turning two (and will have bees wax candles on his cake for sure)!!

kade's daddy, alex, has found himself a job renovating gardens with a local company who has also agreed to sell our candles. he is also working on making our own bee boxes so we can have bees on our property!

and i spend my days playing with kade and making candles, which now come in many different styles but are all handmade with wonderful local bees wax.

my goal is to up date this site weekly, and to add pictures and fun facts about bees and their wax. so place come often and see what our family is doing.

blessed bee,
melissa
ps. above is a picture of kade and i at the hockley strawberry festival!

why use bees wax?

bees wax, besides being oh-so-sweet, is also good for your home and health! with no harsh chemicals, no dye, and no toxic smoke, bees wax is the most natural choice.

our candles are each hand dipped and therefore hopelessly flawed! each candle is unique and made from a labor of love!

we use only local wax, with an intention of supporting our local bee keepers and raw honey production.

we hope you enjoy our candles as much as we enjoyed making them and that you share them with your friends and family!
