Beeswax Gifts

Miellerie honey hails from the Tasmania wilderness where Frenchman, Yves Ginat, marries the french technique of soft setting honey with the extraordinary flower nectars of Tasmania. 

Miellerie honey is unprocessed and unheated, thus maintaining the honey's optimum natural aroma, health qualities, and characteristic crystals. Each of the honeys in the Miellerie range are soft set, with a smooth, velvety texture that melts literally in your mouth (or on your sourdough crumpet)!

As an apiarist, Yves nurtures his bee community using organic and biodynamic beekeeping practices to maintain health and harmony from the hive to the jar. Essential to the integrity of Miellerie is their trade practice of cold extraction of the honey from the comb to harness the vitality, aroma, flavour, colour and texture of the exquisite nectars from the pristine Tasmanian forests.

If you love the caramel created when you boil a can of Condensed Milk, you'll go wild for Blue Gum honey.  It's nature's version of caramel.

Leatherwood honey is quite simply an absolute taste sensation.  A leatherwood tree has to be over 80 years old before it yields any blossoms and quite frankly you can taste that ancient wisdom in the honey.  I tell our customers that visit Queen B that Leatherwood honey is "like being punched in the mouth with a bunch of flowers"... it is incredibly aromatic and floral and will be like nothing else you've ever tasted.  Leatherwood honey is amazing to use where it's floral nature can be hero'ed... like dressings, savoury marinades or cakes/biscuits with only a few ingredients.

From late October to early January Lake Pedder yields the bees their favourite wild flower nectars (Banksia, Tea Tree, Button grass, Melaleuca, Peppermint) from the heart of Tasmania’s world heritage listed forests.  If you love strong flavoured and manuka honey's, you'll love Lake Pedder's Nectar.

Whilst we're usually very single minded about supporting Australian Made there are always exceptions for great design and craftsmanship.  These stunning porcelain candleholders are from Germany and so beautiful that we've made an exception!

Guardian Angel with Golden Wings (includes birthday taper candle)
H: ~ 5.5cm
W: ~ 4cm

Guardian Angel with Silver Wings (includes birthday taper candle)
H: ~ 6.5cm
W: ~ 4cm

Guardian Angel Plate (includes 12cm Taper candle)
H: ~4cm (base to tip of angel's head)
W: ~13.5cm

We decided to bundle these with a Queen B candle included in the price so that they can be lit immediately.  If you are wanting to order more candles for the freestanding Guardian Angels, please order our Birthday Candles.  You will need to squeeze the bottom of the candle slightly to fit it into the (very small) hole in the holder.  It's not hard... I do it weekly!

For the Guardian Angel plate, our 12cm or 20cm Taper candles work equally well.  I feel like the taller tapers mean that the centre of gravity is too high.

Many months ago a customer sent us a couple of blocks of Spencer Cocoa chocolate.  Chocolate always calls for a stop work meeting and so it was that we were introduced to the incredible taste of Spencer Cocoa chocolate.  Not only is the chocolate extraordinary, but we all loved the packaging, chocolate mould and story so much that I called the maker to compliment him and ended up ordering a few cases. This is our chocolate of choice for hampers, snacking on and tastings in store

Some of the best gifts are gifts we want ourselves, and this is one I'd covet!  For years I have loved, and given as gifts, these stunning espresso glasses which are made in France by La Rochere (where they've been making their glass since 1456 or so).

I recently discovered that they are also a perfect fit for our votive refill candles... 🤯 .  What to do?... well we've put 2 in the gift so that mum can have for candlelight and one for espresso at all times.

This gift contains:

• 2 x La Rochere Zinc Espresso glasses
  
  
• 2 x Queen B votive candle refills

Containing a Mini Banksia Aroma Pod and a bottle pure Australian Essential Oil.

Everything in this box is Australian Made right down to the plastic free packaging!  There is a small instruction and information leaflet inside to help when gifting.

About the Aroma Pods:

Widely known as the BEST natural diffuser available today!

Why?  The Banksia Grandis seed pod (the material from which they are made) is particularly porous, it soaks up your essential oil and slowly releases the aroma through its pores.  No flames and no electricity.  Each one is completely different to the last and can be filled with any oil you like.  Aroma Pod's are best used in smaller areas of your home that don't usually have powerpoint's.  Areas like your powder room, wardrobes, your car and an excellent personal diffuser on your bedside table and work/study desk!

Your Aroma Pod comes pre-tested for any leakage.
