Bryn Hill's beehives are surrounded by 30 acres of organically grown tea plants-Camellia sinensis. This provides our bees with a pristine environment in which to produce several varieties of unique honeycomb, which is purified into Green Tea, Rainforest and Sunbleached beeswax.
GREEN TEA BEESWAX
These rare beeswax bars are handcrafted from our green tea honeycomb, after the delicious honey has been cold pressed and removed from the comb. The resulting beeswax has a very light honey aroma and is a light yellow colour. It is naturally filtered to remove any hive impurities, ready to impart wonderful properties to your homemade products.
RAINFOREST BEESWAX
Our rainforest beeswax is collected from beehives located on the edge of pristine rainforest - thousands of acres of World Heritage rainforest surround our tea plantation, providing a healthy, clean environment for our bees to do their work.
Colour variations found in rainforest pollen results in the colour of these beeswax bars varying throughout the year.
SUN BLEACHED BEESWAX
These sun bleached beeswax bars appeal to those who prefer a lighter colour in their homemade skin care products or natural candles, without the toxins present from chemical bleaching.
After the delicious honey has been cold pressed and removed from the comb, the resulting beeswax is naturally filtered several times to remove any impurities, then placed in the sun for several weeks to bleach it whiter. Although this is a more time consuming option than utilising the usual chemical bleaching methods, it results in a much healthier product.
Artists using beeswax for their encaustic projects often prefer the sun bleached, rather than natural, beeswax for combining with their colour pigments.
Note: although the sun bleached bars are a lot lighter in colour than the natural beeswax bars, they are not perfectly white like chemically bleached bars.

We manage our hives naturally. This means that we do not use any chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics or smoke that may leave residues in the wax, a definite plus for use in skincare products.
