Pure New Zealand Beeswax Pellets

$10.00
Type: Beeswax etc
Weight

By popular demand, we're making a limited amount of our pure beeswax available.  This is pure New Zealand beeswax with no additives, and comes from virgin cappings wax harvested during honey extraction.

 

Perfect for balms and salves, candles and polishes, and all your craft projects.  Our pure beeswax pellets are blocks of about 1 cm cubed, making it easy for you to measure out exactly the right weight for your creations, ensuring a great result, and no waste. 

 

Of course, if you're wanting to make beeswax food wraps, we strongly suggest you use our pre-blended DIY blocks,  which already contain exactly the right mix of beeswax, damar tree resin and coconut oil

 

Tip:  Beeswax has a melting point of 61 - 65 degrees celsius.  To get the best out of our beeswax, do not use more heat than is necessary, and heat only for as long as is required.  Use a double boiler to avoid hot spots - excessive heating temperatures or duration can darken beeswax and damage its scent.  

 

Gently refined using only water, heat and filtration, our beeswax retains its natural golden colour and delicious honey scent. 

Colour will vary, just as it naturally does in the hive, but will be in the yellow range (ie, not brown or white)

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This product is available ONLY to New Zealand shipping addresses.  While most countries do allow imports of pure New Zealand beeswax and we have some of the highest biosecurity standards in the world to support that, we feel that beeswax in its pure form is best bought from local sources to protect bee health.  So we're putting our money where our mouth is and we will not export our pure beeswax.   Our beeswax blended products, of course, have no chance of ever ending up being used in a beehive and can be sent freely worldwide. 

We will always do our best to send your order out within 2-3 working days, but please note that most of our candles in particular are made to order, which may require a few more days  lead time.  If you need an something in a particularly tight timeline, feel free to drop us an email or give us a call on 06 876 8852 and we'll do our best to help. 

 

Delivery Costs and Timelines

New Zealand:

Courier delivery $7 flat rate on orders up to $50 value.

FREE COURIER DELIVERY in NZ on orders $50+.   

Delivery Timeline: 2-3 working days after dispatch.

 

Australia & Rest of World:

 Sadly, due to rising costs of international delivery and extended delivery delays, as of 3 November 2020 we have removed our international shipping option. 

 

We hope to resume international deliveries when the situation improves, but for now we believe this is our only option to avoid disappointment to customers.   

 

International Orders and Bee Products

Different countries have different rules around importation of natural products, and it's common for beeswax not to be allowed in order to protect the health of their local bees.  We get it.  After all, Kev and I (Dee) are beekeepers, first and foremost.

HOWEVER, we have very tight biosecurity and good bee health here in New Zealand, and as many of our products are a blend of beeswax, tree resin and other oils, there is no risk they will ever end up being used directly in a beehive, as a block of pure beeswax might.   

Therefore we've had no problem with border restrictions, and as at the date of writing this, our products have been sent without problem to Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, and a dozen other countries . 

Some countries may have various border or import charges - please note that you will be responsible for any such charges. 

  

What about packaging?  Do you use plastic?

We're committed to eliminating plastic wherever we can - the clear bags our kits are packaged in are NOT plastic.  They are genuine cellophane, made from vegetable cellulose and are fully biodegradable and home compostable. 

And we're very happy to announce that the black courier bags we use are also NOT plastic!  They are made from plants (mostly corn I believe), and are fully biodegradable, and home compostable.  And, a little oddly, they smell like fresh toast, or maybe popcorn!

It's not just plastic we're about reducing though - You'll see on our naked DIY blocks you have the option to buy without packaging, and on every one of our ready-made wrap pages we encourage customers to let us know if they don't need individual packaging on the wraps.
