We produce raw wildflower honey and handmade beeswax and fragrance goods in Saint Lucia. Our story began in May 2023 when a colony settled on our home property—and grew from one bee box into an apiary and a range of hive-inspired products.

An Apiary Born from an Unexpected Hive
In May 2023, I discovered a colony of bees between two White Cedar (Poie-Yea) trees on my property. A friend helped me capture the queen safely and gave me my first bee box. I spent the next year learning to care for and inspect the hives alongside an experienced beekeeper.
Careful Processes for Honey and Hive Goods
We handle each product with care: honey frames are moved in sterile containers for uncapping, extraction, straining, and bottling in sterile glass. At our workshop, we blend and bottle diffusers and make beeswax candles with essential oils and colouring, then set, clean, and label each jar.
Pure Wildflower Honey and Hive-Made Products
Our flagship is pure, raw wildflower honey, joined by handmade soaps, beeswax candles, diffusers, and honey lollipops. Our honey and a scented beeswax candle won first-place awards at the 2025 Hewanorra Honey Show. My training includes beekeeping with UNDP and the University of the West Indies and Queen Bee Rearing with the University of Montana.
