A Note from Our Beekeeper

“I've been drawn to farming for as long as I can remember—a lifelong passion that eventually led me to beekeeping. With a background in business, conservation, and farm management, I discovered commercial beekeeping in 2017 and immediately knew I had found my calling.

In 2019, I established my own beekeeping operation in Durbanville, Cape Town. Today, I run the business with my wife, Anna, combining hands-on care with a shared commitment to sustainability and quality.

What began with a few hives has grown into a purpose-driven venture producing raw honey and a growing range of value-added products, including hot honey, lip balms, beeswax face creams, and beeswax body creams. Each item is handcrafted in small batches using natural ingredients, with the same attention and care we give to our bees.

Our work is rooted in environmental stewardship and a belief in supporting local resilience—bringing you thoughtfully made products straight from our hives.”
