Shell's Bees

Shell's Bees Welcome to Shell's Bees. I'm a Beekeeper, with hives in Tauranga.

I started making products for my own use from the goodies I obtain from beehives, but now I have turned this into a business for myself and my family.

*** BEESWAX WRAPS set of 3 - Small 17x20cm - Medium 27x31cm - Large 33x35cm. *** An excellent alternative to plastic wrap, and when they have done their job, simply place in the compost. Made from 100% cotton, my own Beewax, Pine Resin and Jojoba Oil. *** Use to wrap veggies, snacks, sandwiches, really anything except for raw meat, chicken, and fish. Simply clean in cool soapy water and let air dry. I use a small wrap for an onion (dedicate one just for an onion) and it works a treat. I have a small wrap that I use for my facecloth whilst travelling - simply place in wrap and pop into your toilet bag. Only $30 for the set of 3.

Here is my new observation hive.

I can place a frame of bees into it and take to workshops etc. so that these wonderful creatures can be seen in a safe way for them and the observers. Can't wait to use it. Thank you Jared Cooney for making this for us.

Bees & Pollen

Bees forage and collect pollen from a variety of plants. When the bees return to the beehive with the pollen, it becomes food for the colony in the form of fats, minerals, and proteins. It may also contain other compounds, such as enzymes, bee wax, honey, and nectar.

You can tell when a bee is collecting pollen from a flower - the bee almost tickles the flower as it moves around all over it collecting the pollen.

Here is a colour pallet showing the different colours of pollen bees collect.

In NZ we have a lot of clover - note the colour of the pollen is a brown colour.

All soaps come with a beeswax wrap, use for storing the soap if not using straight away, as because of the lovely oils inside, the soap will sweat. You can also use the beeswax wrap to pop the soap into your bag when travelling.

HONEY

Did you know that Honey is the energy source for the Honey Bee!

Honey Bees require carbohydrate sources that they naturally obtain from nectar. Nectar predominantly consists of water, pollen, and varying proportions of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, and the disaccharide sucrose.
