Too bee or not too bee. Which are you?

“The lovely flowers embarrass me.

They make me regret I am not a Bee.”

Leonardo da Vinci.

Most people like Bee’s but do you appreciate how important they are to our environment and economy? According to Friends of the Earth, they along with other insects are relied upon to pollinate most of our fruit and vegetables. There are over 270 species of Bee’s recorded in the United Kingdom but since 1900, we have lost 13 of these and a further 35 are in peril.

We are therefore pleased to announce that we now stock a range of soaps, hand and lip care products from The Great British Bee Company.

As a family run business, they have a simple vision; to design the best, environmentally sound products using the harvest from their own hives blended with ingredients grown in the British countryside.

All the products are designed and hand crafted by them and are proud to maintain a 100% British sourcing policy. Through collaboration with British seed oil growers, artisan craftspeople, suppliers and other members of the Bee Farming Association, they have successfully expanded their vision industry wide.

Every time you purchase one of there products, you will be benefiting the British countryside as they help to fund essential UK Honey Bee Research.
