Thank you for visiting Smallwood Bees! My name is George and I am passionate about all things wildlife. I
love to create habitats to support native species and despite a small garden I managed to create homes for
hedgehogs, birds, frogs and bees! In 2018 I won Shed of the Year with the Bee
Eco Shed
a hand-made wooden structure with habitat fencing, pergola and roof-top vegetable garden complete with two
beehives. I use the honey and wax from my beehives (and some from other Sheffield bee keepers) to create
Smallwood Bees lip balm. These balms are made from all-natural ingredients with shea butter, olive oil,
almond oil, coconut oil and vitamin E.
In 2021 I moved myself and my bees to a new home in Walkley where I am transforming a derelict garden into
a wildlife haven. I’ve
loved creating Smallwood
Bees lip balms and hope it is a product that
people enjoy using as much as I have enjoyed making.
We started making lip balms using all natural ingredients in 2018. It took a lot of trial and error to get
the perfect mix but finally we feel we have created something to be proud of. The core ingredient is bees
wax from my bee hives and other local Sheffield hives. This is melted and combined with the other natural
ingredients. These are honey, shea butter, olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, vitamin E with the addition
of lemon for the lemon scented lip balm. It is all made by hand at my home with each individually poured.
I hope it is a product that people enjoy using as much as I have enjoyed creating.
My Original & Lemon bees wax lip balm are made using bees wax and honey from my bee hives and other local Sheffield Bee keepers. The bee hives were originally on top of my wildlife friendly shed in Sheffield which won shed of the year in 2018. The Bee Eco Shed. We have now moved to Walkley and are transforming our garden into a wildlife haven.
