Miellerie Honey
Regular price $17.00 Save $-17.00Miellerie honey hails from the Tasmania wilderness where Frenchman, Yves Ginat, marries the french technique of soft setting honey with the extraordinary flower nectars of Tasmania.
Miellerie honey is unprocessed and unheated, thus maintaining the honey's optimum natural aroma, health qualities, and characteristic crystals. Each of the honeys in the Miellerie range are soft set, with a smooth, velvety texture that melts literally in your mouth (or on your sourdough crumpet)!
As an apiarist, Yves nurtures his bee community using organic and biodynamic beekeeping practices to maintain health and harmony from the hive to the jar. Essential to the integrity of Miellerie is their trade practice of cold extraction of the honey from the comb to harness the vitality, aroma, flavour, colour and texture of the exquisite nectars from the pristine Tasmanian forests.
If you love the caramel created when you boil a can of Condensed Milk, you'll go wild for Blue Gum honey. It's nature's version of caramel.
Leatherwood honey is quite simply an absolute taste sensation. A leatherwood tree has to be over 80 years old before it yields any blossoms and quite frankly you can taste that ancient wisdom in the honey. I tell our customers that visit Queen B that Leatherwood honey is "like being punched in the mouth with a bunch of flowers"... it is incredibly aromatic and floral and will be like nothing else you've ever tasted. Leatherwood honey is amazing to use where it's floral nature can be hero'ed... like dressings, savoury marinades or cakes/biscuits with only a few ingredients.
From late October to early January Lake Pedder yields the bees their favourite wild flower nectars (Banksia, Tea Tree, Button grass, Melaleuca, Peppermint) from the heart of Tasmania’s world heritage listed forests. If you love strong flavoured and manuka honey's, you'll love Lake Pedder's Nectar.

Hard Working Hands Balm - 60g
Regular price $30.00 Save $-30.00Nina’s Bees Hard Working Hands balm provides a long lasting nourishment and protection to dry, cracked skin.
My inspiration for this product was my partner’s hands. Making a living as a civil construction engineer, he spends whatever free time he has on building/rebuilding motorbikes, building hives and building our beelab. He is most happy when he works with his hands but his hands must look presentable when he is back in the office. I came up with a high potency blend of moisturizing and healing oils with added benefits of anti-inflammatory and antiseptic sandalwood & seaweed for quick healing of scratches and cracks on those hard working hands.
Hard Working Hands Balm has won multiple awards as the best men’s personal care product. This year it has won Gold and Editor’s Choice Awards by Clean and Conscious Awards 2023 Please enjoy our sale 15- 20th September celebrating this achievement !
BENEFITS
Carefully chosen natural oils and healing seaweed give an instant relieve to dry skin, helping to mend scratches and cracks. Natural beeswax forms a light breathable protective layer on your skin, while locking in the nourishing oils. Essential oils of wintergreen and clary sage are believed to be antibacterial, stimulates blood circulation around the affected tissue while alleviating pain associated with scratches on the skin.
HOW TO USE
Apply a pea size amount of Hand Balm to the back of your hand, massage gently with the back of your other hand. Then massage all over with your open palms. Give the balm 5 minutes to absorb completely. Enjoy the softness of your skin.
Nina’s Bees balm can be used anywhere on your body. I recommend Nina’s Bees Aches and Pains balm for any joint or muscle pain.
CAUTION:
Nursing or pregnant women must avoid skincare products with wintergreen and/or clary sage.
INGREDIENTS:
Chamomile infused Organic Olive Oil, Cold Pressed Apricot Kernel Oil, Nina’s Beeswax, Cold Pressed Castor Oil, Vitamin E, Seaweed, Sandalwood, Essential Oils of Clary Sage, Wintergreen, Cedarwood Atlas and Basil.
As with all skincare products, I recommend patch testing the balm prior to use.
Nina’s Bees Restoring Balm is 100% natural, with no stabilizers or artificial fillers. Therefor it reacts naturally to the ambient temperature: it melts at > 35C and hardens at < 20C.
If it is too hot, please cool it down ( in a cool, dry place), if it is too cold, please warm it up ( in your hands or on your skin)
Face & Body Floral Oil - 30ml

Every plant based oil used in this product comes from a flowering plant that bees adore. The unrefined floral oils are bursting with an abundance of vitamins which help to repair and revitalize your skin.

The fatty acids have anti-bacterial properties which protect your skin from bacteria, thus lowering the occurrence of acne.
The precious essential oil of Rose Otto contains a complex array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Rose essential oil has excellent emollient properties for moisturizing dry skin; it also offers antiseptic and astringent properties to treat acneic skin, as well as anti-inflammatory properties that help treat redness and inflammation. Fun fact: It takes tens of thousands of rose blossoms, picked as they are unfolding in the early hours of dawn, to yield 30 ml of rose essential oil. That makes rose oil one of the most expensive essential oils.
