The Bee Fairy

Autumn is ivy season, and for the bees that's a big deal. 🐝

Ivy blossom comes into flower just as many other flowers are disappearing, giving bees an important source of food as we head towards winter.

So if you can, leave a patch of ivy uncut while it's flowering — on a hedge, a wall or tucked away in a corner of the garden.

It might not look like much to us, but to a hungry bee it can make quite a difference. 🌿🐝

There's a particular kind of quiet after a morning in the garden — muddy fingers, a cup of tea, and a few minutes to put yourself right again.

Our Gardener's Hand Balm is made for hands that spend their time digging, planting, pruning and working outdoors. A concentrated beeswax balm with nourishing oils and butters to help keep hard-working hands soft and comfortable.

Handmade in small batches here in the Teme Valley.

Set the trowel down — your hands have earned it. 🌿🐝

Same skin. Different indoor air.

When the heating goes on and we start spending more time indoors, the warmer, drier-feeling air can leave skin feeling tighter and less comfortable — especially as the colder weather arrives outside too.

It's usually around this time of year that we reach for one of our richer balms: Deeply Moisturising Revival Balm. A concentrated, water-free blend of beeswax, shea butter and botanical oils, handmade in small batches here in the Teme Valley.

A little goes a long way on the face, hands and anywhere the cold weather starts to bite.

Our distinctive bamboo packaging isn't just lovely to look at – it's reusable too. 🌿
We chose bamboo because we wanted packaging that feels special, while giving the jar another life once the balm is finished.
Beautiful, practical and designed to be reused – because the packaging shouldn't have to become waste when the balm is gone. 🐝

Inspired by nature, made in the Teme Valley. 🐝🌿
Our balms bring together beeswax, plant oils, butters and carefully chosen botanicals to create simple, water-free skincare.
Made in small batches here in Worcestershire, with ingredients chosen for a reason and no need to make skincare complicated.
Natural ingredients. Practical products. A little bit of the Teme Valley in every pot.

A quiet start to the day here in the Teme Valley. 🌿🐝

There’s something rather special about making our balms here in the countryside, surrounded by the landscape and natural ingredients that inspire what we do.

Every Bee Fairy balm is made by us in small batches using beeswax, butters, botanical oils and carefully chosen essential oils.

Small-batch British making, from our little corner of the Teme Valley.

Ever wondered what’s actually inside a balm – and why? 🐝

Our Skin Rejuvenation Balm keeps things beautifully simple. Beeswax helps lock in moisture, shea butter leaves skin feeling soft and supple, while calendula has long been valued in traditional skincare.

No water, no unnecessary fillers – just carefully chosen ingredients blended by hand in small batches here in the Teme Valley. 🌿

Sometimes simple really is better.

At Malvern Autumn Show within the Home and Heritage area, pop over and learn about the different uses of Beeswax from Skincare for yourself, balms for your dogs and horses or uses around the home.

All set up at Moreton Show this morning.
They always say that sun shines on the richeous but sometimes I wish it would shine from behind as the balm samples would much prefer to be in the shade.
Looking forward to a great day all the same.

At Warners Malvern Caravans and Motor Home show Day 3 with our stand facing the wrong way so in full sun meaning my balms have been hiding at the back of the stand. Problem solved with our new awning😉😁
