honey - candles - beeswax and DIY candle kits

The importance of bees within our natural environment is well documented; we recognize the fact that bees are responsible for a large part of the pollination process that allows plants both in the wild and cultivated to successfully propagate. But in addition, bees produce large volumes of honey and beeswax, products that have multiple uses and are highly valued. In Australia alone it is estimated that annual honey production is around 30,000 tons with nearly half of that volume being produced by independent beekeepers.

Here at The Bee Whisperer, located in Balgownie, NSW we are dedicated beekeepers whose bees produce high quality honey and beeswax which we make available to our thousands of customers. Honey, in the state it is whilst in the hive, is known as raw honey and is generally considered superior to processed honey in terms of recognized health benefits. Our beekeepers raw honey that we supply across Australia as well as New South Wales is rich in nutrients, amino acids, minerals and enzymes, but probably most importantly of all still contains pollen as it is simply strained from the hive. Commercially processed honey has many of these beneficial elements removed through pasteurisation or ultra filtration, and although the resulting honey may have a greater shelf life and look aesthetically pleasing, it is lacking in the health benefits attributed to raw honey which is packed with anti-oxidants that can have a positive impact on heart disease, cancer and other ailments.

With over 100 different flowering plants upon which our bees feed, we experience seasonal changes in our beekeeper’s natural honey – both colour and flavour are dependent on the flowers that dominate the bees’ diet at the time, and alongside these varieties of honeys we also supply honey comb and bee pollen, directly from our hives.

Beeswax, which is secreted from glands on the bees and used to form the honeycomb within the hive is also harvested as it is the ideal product from which to make candles. We can supply what are probably the best beeswax candles and tea lights on a wholesale basis across Australia, or alternatively, supply you with beeswax and the necessary accessories for you to create your own candles. In a similar vein to honey, the colouration of beeswax will vary due to the diet of the bees, but all beeswax candles burn without smoke and have a unique natural aroma as they burn, more slowly that traditional wax candles. Furthermore, the flame from a beeswax candle burns with a bright clear light that closely replicates the light from the sun whilst emitting negative ions which help to cleanse the surrounding air.

Our range of beekeeper’s made candles are available in a range of sizes and all are tested to ensure that our finished products are of the highest quality before they are passed on to our customers.
