Beeswax NZ
Discover the versatile and revitalising uses of Happy Valley Honey beeswax, for sale NZ-wide or internationally.
A valuable byproduct of the honey extraction process, the healing benefits of beeswax have been recognised since the beginning of civilisation. Discovered in pharaohs’ tombs, Roman ruins, and sunken Viking ships, beeswax is believed to have been used to treat cavities, smallpox, wounds, and burns.
This amazing product is made by female bees within the hive for storing the colony’s honey. The process of creating New Zealand beeswax also contributes to the production of other forms of raw honey, including our very own UMF Mānuka honey.
