The story behind
Beehemian Wrapzody
Reducing Single-Use Plastic Since 2019
My journey began in the quietest of places after a family bereavement in 2017. A few months later, I turned to crafting and it became a lifeline for my mental health - giving me a way to channel my grief into something useful, creative and healing.
In January 2019, a spark was ignited. I watched a video of a woman in Australia using beeswax from her own apiaries to make reusable food wraps. I was intrigued. I bought some ingredients, cleared space in my kitchen and started experimenting.
There was plenty of trial and error along the way - and beeswax splattered about the place - but I was hooked.
Then in March, 2019, Beehemian Wrapzody was born!
I took a leap of faith - and my business name pun - and headed to my very first market in Cartmel, Cumbria, with a box of handmade beeswax wraps and no idea where this little experiment might lead.
Seven years later, I'm still here! Still making, still experimenting, still learning and still finding new ways to turn beeswax, plus some other beautiful and natural ingredients, and a slightly unhealthy enthusiasm for daft bee-puns and making things into products that people love.
What started as a way to help me through a difficult time has grown into a business I am incredibly proud of.
And this is only the beginning.
