Hive Originals
Our bees work hard to make the raw honey and beeswax we harvest for our lovingly handcrafted skincare, hair care and gorgeous candles. Blended with the finest organic vegetable and essential oils, we never use parabens, SLS's, mineral oils, lanolin or anything which isn't natural and simply beautiful. All of our products are handmade in small batches using only the finest and most natural of ingredients.

Back in 2011 I dragged my partner Colin, to do a beekeeping course at our local garden centre - initially just as a "nice thing to do". However it wasn't long before both of us became absolutely fascinated with the wonder of honey bees and very soon we bought our first couple of beehives with resident colonies.
All of our products are handmade in small batches using only the finest and most natural of ingredients. There may be slight colour or scent variances in each batch due to the nature of the natural raw materials used at the time of making. For example, our bees forage on lots of different flowers throughout the year which creates different types of honey both in taste and colour.
Well if anyone could have predicted what 2020 was going to look like this time last year, none of us would have thought it'd look like this! Sadly we've seen all our events being cancelled, some of which we rely on heavily. In fact the reality is that we've lost almost 70% of our business. Business continues and we are still taking online orders - long may that continue!
Join our hive and 'hear the buzz' on all our special promotions, and get the latest news about Claire and her apiary. You'll also find out how the bees are doing - we'll keep you posted and let you know how they're getting on. We take great care of them and over the years have learned a lot about how to look after them.
Browse our selection of natural Lip Balms using beeswax and botanical oils to make lips nourished and kissable. We've developed a range of face care using a unique blend of essential oils and of course our very own locally made honey to moisturise the skin. Our range of Honey and Beeswax Hand Creams have all been uniquely designed to repair, moisturise and protect hard working hands.

I purchased some Bath Salts and hand cream at the Bath and West Show this weekend. I couldn't wait to try out the Salts and they didn't disappoint! They smelt devine and my skin was left feeling soft and moisturised! Can't wait to see your items for Xmas and will be recommending your products to all friends and family. Xx

What a wonderful place to buy your skincare! I love all the products I have tried so far (The foot cream is one of my all time favourites) and the candles are great too. All made with natural ingredients and fairly local to me too.

Huge fan of the lip balm and the hand creams. I have super dry skin in winter and both items have helped immensely the last couple of years.

Once again I have received excellent service from Team Hive! 🐝 This is why I love supporting small businesses, because they care about their customers and the service they receive. And this is totally aside from the fact the products are amazing! I absolutely cannot live without the Night Cream now! Thank you so much you lovely lot! 🙏🏻

Fabulous products which we bought at the Bath & West Show. I suffer really badly with hay fever and found that the honey lip balm applied to my eyelids stopped the soreness and itching immediately!

The bee balm for men is sooooo lovely. The hubby's beard is soft and it smells amazing.

Gorgeous products that do wonders for your skin, dreamy scents with natural ingredients that hydrate and protect from the elements. Wish I'd discovered Hive Originals sooner.

These products are soooooo amazing its almost impossible to evaluate. The sumptuous ingredients, the heavenly scents, the lovely bee lady who is so very passionate about what she does filling her products with love. I am hugely fussy about the products I use and I totally rate these products - in particular the night cream and the eye cream, the shower gel, the hand cream, the hand balm, the foot balm - haven't tried the men's products but I know some wives who will be very happy not to have to share any more!! Clare we love you and your bees!!
