Bonny Bee’s location is set in a rural area of Southland.
Founded in January 2018, when there was a surplus of beeswax from my own beehives and wondered what it could be made into. With a yearning to keep products as natural as possible and through research and experimentation, the first products were made, which consisted of a healing balm, deodorant and solid perfumes. Bonny Bee was created.
The next thing was to decide on a logo. Dwelling on scottish ancestory, as well as giving a nod to my beekeeping days, which was the inspiration behind Bonny Bee, it was only apt to have an image of a honeybee hovering over the thistle. The logo is now trademarked.
Since that initial starting point, and as demand grew, further products were made, creating a variety of skincare products from balms, bars, salves, creams, and soap to candles and wax melts.
Today, going from wondering what to do with some extra beeswax, the business has evolved and now makes a wide range of products, many of which don’t contain either beeswax and/or honey, but are all naturally great, which can be viewed on the website today.
