OUR JOURNEY…

After a few years of keeping bees with my father - we had quite a bit of honey and beeswax - and - some very dry lips - something I've suffered with all my life - so with a little research I created a few lip balms. Not only did they work and cure my cracked and sore lips they smelled amazing and every person I mentioned them to wanted one!

So after a few months, I made enough for everyone and approached a small health food shop in Manchester - who wanted 80! And the rest is history - we have organically grown into a skincare company.

What's in a name - Our Tiny Bees

Why Our Tiny Bees? Quite simple - they're not yours, they're not mine. They're our bees - it's all of our duties to do anything we can to help these incredible creatures, and every little helps.

Our 'Rules'.

We have a few ‘rules’ that have seen us grow organically over the years and believe it takes little steps to make big things happen.  

Rule #1 - If it isn’t useful – it doesn’t go in.

When we make products we make them useful. We could easily make a jar of exotic smelling, chemical-filled, environmentally disgraceful goo, and indeed with a nice label, we could charge you a fortune for it.

But we don’t.

We find nice, effective goodies (nut oils, nut butters, seed oils and essential oils) and blend them to create something that works, we charge a fair price for our goodness and hard work.

Have a look around our range and be assured in this world of expensive pots of well-marketed chemicals, we are producing artisan skincare packed full of naturally effective ingredients. No animal testing is conducted on our products or any of their ingredients, as much as possible our packaging is widely recyclable or better still re-usable. Honey and Beeswax is harvested from what the bees don’t need.

Rule #2 - If it doesn’t make us happy we don’t do it.

We work directly with British beekeepers who supply us with 100% British Honey and Wax, where we can we buy English essential oils made by people who took a chance and decided to fill their land with Lavender flowers and make Lavender essential oil. We supply cute, creative shops run by people who quit their day job to bring other people good things – often that they themselves cherry-pick.

We like good people.

We mean it when we say our natural skin care is good for you and good for British bees.
