A Simple Honey & Beeswax Gift for Any Occasion

This honey and beeswax sampler offers a simple way to enjoy products directly connected to the work of our honey bees, featuring raw Single Source honey and a handmade beeswax candle.

What’s Included

  • One 2 oz jar of Single Source raw honey
  • One 100% beeswax bee skep votive candle
  • Seasonal gift tag and gift bag packaging

All of our Single Source honey is raw honey and full of natural flavor and medicinal properties. All of our unscented beeswax candles are handmade in Watertown, MN. Whether shared as a thoughtful gift or enjoyed at home, this sampler highlights products directly connected to the work of our honey bees.

Enjoy the Natural Flavor of Single Source Honey

Single Source honey reflects the nectar gathered by honey bees during a specific bloom period or from a dominant nectar source. Because flowers and seasonal nectar flows change throughout the year, each honey variety develops its own unique flavor, aroma, and color.

Unlike blended honey, Single Source honey allows you to experience the natural differences created by the environment and forage available to the bees. Some varieties may taste lighter and more floral while others are darker, richer, or more robust depending on the nectar source.

All of our honey is raw honey, meaning it is minimally processed to help preserve its natural flavor and characteristics. This allows the honey to maintain much of the texture, aroma, and qualities created naturally within the hive.

Handmade Beeswax Bee Skep Votive Candle

Included with this sampler is a 100% beeswax bee skep votive candle handmade in Watertown, Minnesota. Inspired by traditional bee skeps historically used in beekeeping, the candle adds a decorative and natural element to the gift set.

Our beeswax candles are naturally scented using wax produced by honey bees and contain no added fragrances. Beeswax candles are appreciated for their warm glow, clean burn, and subtle honey-like aroma naturally created by the beeswax itself.

Because beeswax is produced directly by honey bees within the hive, every candle is connected to the seasonal work of the colony and the nectar sources gathered throughout the year.

Candle Burning Instructions:

These candles are designed to be burned free-standing on a plate, saucer, or similar holder. They are not meant to be placed in a tall, tight-fitting jar or glass holder, as this will reflect heat and affect the burn.

What Makes Raw Honey Different?

Raw honey is valued for its natural flavor and minimal processing. Unlike heavily filtered commercial honey, raw honey may naturally contain pollen, enzymes, and variations in texture or color depending on the nectar source and season.

Crystallization is also a completely natural process in raw honey. Some varieties crystallize more quickly than others depending on their natural sugar composition and storage temperature. Crystallized honey is still perfectly good to enjoy.

Because Single Source honey reflects a particular nectar flow, it offers a more unique tasting experience than blended honey products. Many people enjoy comparing different honey varieties to experience how flowers and forage influence flavor.

A Thoughtful Gift for Honey Lovers and Bee Enthusiasts

This Beeswax Skep Votive Candle & Honey Sampler Gift makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, holidays, host gifts, thank you gifts, and seasonal gift giving. The smaller sampler size also makes it an easy introduction to raw honey and beeswax products for someone discovering them for the first time.

The combination of raw honey and a handmade beeswax candle creates a gift that is both decorative and practical. It appeals to honey lovers, gardeners, candle enthusiasts, beekeepers, and anyone who appreciates products connected to nature and pollinators.

The seasonal gift tag also makes the sampler ready for gifting without requiring additional packaging.

Produced Through the Work of Honey Bees

Every item included in this sampler begins with the work of honey bees gathering nectar and producing wax within the hive. The honey reflects seasonal nectar flows while the beeswax is naturally produced by the bees during comb building.

By combining raw honey and handmade beeswax products in one sampler, this gift offers a simple way to experience products directly connected to the hive and the work of honey bees throughout the season.
