Beepot Mini
The Beepot mini is a stunning concrete planter and bee house, all in one.
90% of our bee species in the UK are solitary bees, bees who don't produce honey, don't have a queen and don't live in hives, but who are really important pollinators. By putting the Beepot mini in your garden, allotment or urban space you are helping the solitary bees by providing a bee house nesting place for them so they can continue with the vital pollination work they do.
Solitary bees are fascinating to watch and safe to encourage around children and pets as they are non-aggressive, they have no honey or queen to protect meaning they have nothing to defend.
The Beepot mini bee house makes a lovely gift for any lover of nature who also loves their garden and loves simple, stylish design. It looks great, whilst doing good for the bees too, win and win!

Medium Kitchen Pack of Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax Wraps are handmade here in Nailsworth by their own fair hands using organic GOTS certified cotton (in super funky patterns), Pine Resin, organic Jojoba Oil and locally sourced UK Beeswax.
Beeswax Wraps are 100% natural - Compared to cling film, our Beeswax Wraps are all natural so no nasties will leach into your food whilst its being stored.
Keeps your food super fresh - The combination of natural ingredients with the organic cotton fabric allows our wraps to breathe, making sure your food stays fresh for longer. You will find that when wrapped in our Beeswax Wraps you will get 3-4 more days out of your loaf of bread, your greens and herbs will stay nice and crunchy for at least a week and your sandwiches won't be all sweaty when you unwrap them come lunch time.
Clingy but in a good way - Pine resin gives our wraps a natural adhesive making sure your food is sealed tight, the warmth from your hands helps mould the wraps to give a strong seal. And they really do stay sticky even after you have used and washed them over and over again.
Reusable - Rather than using cling film or foil that you throw away after one use, our reusable food wraps can simply be washed in cold water with a little bit of soap and they are ready to roll again. After a 2-3 months just refresh them and off you go again.
Biodegradable - Once you have used your wrap to the max you can pop it on your compost or you can twist up and use as a firelighter.
