About us
The Little Honey Bee Company grew out of a beekeeping hobby. I had become a beekeeper more or less by accident a few years previously and discovered just how fascinating honey bees are. Whereas previously honey was just something I occasionally had on toast I become more interested in the health benefits of both honey and beeswax. Knowing that honey was a fantastic natural moisturiser I was keen to make my own salves, balms, soaps and hand rolled candles. That year for Christmas everyone received handmade soaps, salves and candles. When I started getting requests for more soaps I decided to have my products safety assessed so they could be sold under the name of Taylor Made. The intention was that the soaps etc would fund the beekeeping hobby.
Soon the product range was growing to include bath bombs and mini fizzers, body butters, bath salts and soaks and I was enjoying meeting people and selling my products at farmers markets and other events. When redundancy hit in July 2012 I decided that it was time to turn my hobby into a full time occupation. Then after getting married I realised that as I was no longer Michelle Taylor it was time for a name change and we became The Little Honey Bee Company.
As The Little Honey Bee Company we not only sell our range of handmade soaps, salves & balms, bath bombs & fizzers, body butters and bath salts using honey and beeswax from our own hives*, handroll beeswax candles, but we also offer candle rolling parties (for both children and adults), educational talks and Beeswax & Honey parties.
*All the honey in our products comes from our own hives, but we occasionally run out of beeswax. When we do we source it from other local beekeepers.
