Since our great-grandfather began beekeeping in the 1920s, we take pride in our deep knowledge of bees, appreciation for nature, and commitment to sustainability, all of which have been passed down through generations. This legacy is reflected in our modern, slow-process production centre in Hopefield. Our products are free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, harmful chemicals, and palm oil, and we ensure that no animals are harmed in the creation of our products.
