Tu-Bees Gourmet Honey products

Supporting Canadian farmers and businesses is incredibly important to me, which is why I want to highlight this fantastic Saskatchewan company. If you’re looking for a unique gift for your adult children, cousins, aunts, friends, neighbors, or coworkers this Christmas, consider giving the delightful taste of Saskatchewan with Tu-Bees Gourmet Honey. This wonderful company is run by a mother-daughter trio: Ms. G. Gaye Sheppard, affectionately known as Mama Bee, along with her daughters Nicole (Nikki) Hein, the founder and Queen Bee, and Jessica (Jessie) Hein, the co-owner and Worker Bee. Gaye takes care of marketing, sales, and the company’s social media presence.

The journey of Tu-Bees began in 2007 when a 12-year-old Nikki dreamed of owning a horse. Since she was too young to work, she needed a brilliant idea to raise funds, and that’s when honey in a tube came to life. What started as a simple concept has blossomed into a thriving business. Over the years, Tu-Bees has broadened its offerings from two types of creamed honeys in squeezable tubes to 375 g honey tubs and a variety of beeswax gift items.

 

Tu-Bees Gourmet Honey

Tu-Bees Gourmet Cinnamon Honey: Tu-Bees Gourmet Cinnamon Honey is crafted from 100% Canadian honey and freshly ground cinnamon, making it a delightful and healthy addition to your cinnamon toast or oatmeal. It’s also a fantastic way to sweeten your chai or gingerbread tea, and you can use it in coffee for a delicious spiced latte. Why not skip the coffee shop and whip up your lattes at home with Tu-Bees Honey? This smooth, creamy spread is also ideal for homemade cinnamon rolls. Plus, Tu-Bees Gourmet Cinnamon Honey offers numerous health benefits, such as reducing oxidative stress and helping to fight infections and inflammation. Personally, I enjoy it on my raisin bread and in my tea!

Tu-Bees Gourmet Lemon Honey: Combine Tu-Bees Gourmet Lemon Honey with extra virgin olive oil to create a delightful dressing that enhances any salad.

You can also blend the lemon honey with butter to whip up a scrumptious lemon honey butter, perfect for slathering on corn on the cob. Additionally, it makes a fantastic spread for grilled peaches or a tasty topping for steamed buttery carrots.

Tu-Bees Gourmet Lemon Honey is incredibly versatile! It makes an excellent topping for various foods and adds a delightful zing to your tea or hot water. While honey lemon water is typically enjoyed warm, it’s also refreshing when served cold with some ice. You could even mix it with your favorite rum for a sweet twist; it paired wonderfully with our Chic Choc rum. Consider gifting Tu-Bees Gourmet Lemon Honey alongside a bottle of your favorite Canadian whisky. And when the chilly winds arrive, a hot toddy is the perfect way to cozy up!

When a tube just isn’t enough, you can purchase Tu-Bees tubs! They are available in the same delicious natural flavours as the squeezable honey tubes. Tu-Bees tubs are perfect for those that enjoy cooking and baking with gourmet honey.

Tu-Bees Natural Fire-Starter Biscuits

When it is cold outside it is nice to warm up by the fire with Natural Fire-Starter Biscuits. Each tin contains six hand dipped fire-starter biscuits that are waterproof, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Anyone who enjoys honey will love these fire-starter biscuits. They are so much better than commercial starters filled with nasty chemicals. Beeswax fire starters are a practical item, so they are ideal for a gift too. Even Santa himself uses Tu-Bees Natural Fire-Starter Biscuits.

Natural beeswax candles

Tu-Bees candles are hand poured using 100% natural beeswax that is sourced from local beekeepers. These natural beeswax candles purify the air while filling the room with a mild, sweet scent. Plus, there is something very soothing about a pure beeswax candle. The wax is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and bio degradable. They also burn with little to no soot.

Beeswax Beehive Votive Gift Pack :

The beehive votives will burn for approximately 8 hours. Beeswax burns at a higher temperature than paraffin, so a non-flammable plate is a good surface for burning your candle or use a votive holder. You can use any left over beeswax into another pure beeswax candle. The gift pack contains four beehive votives. Give the entire set as a gift or break up the set and give one beehive with a votive holder to each of your friends. These beehive votives are also the ideal size for Christmas pyramids.

Beeswax Tea-lights (Paw-some): The ‘paw’-some tea-lights will provide you with approximately 4-5 hours of burn-time. Each package contains four cupless tea-lights. These should be burned in an appropriate tea-light holder. The paw’-some tea-light candles are the perfect gift for pet lovers. Pair it with a paw print candle holder for the ultimate gift. It would also be a nice gift paired with a paw print memorial candle holder. A memorial candle holder can be a beautiful keepsake for a life lost and can bring comfort to those in mourning.

 

Beeswax tea lights:Tu-Bees 100 % beeswax tea light candles will provide you with approximately 5-6 hours of burn time, burning longer, cleaner and brighter than traditional paraffin tea lights. The tea light comes in a readily recyclable cup. Why not also include a package in your car emergency safety kit. They are also ideal for setting a relaxing mood around the bathtub, or for setting a romantic atmosphere in the bedroom. Like all pure beeswax candles, they release negative ions into the air boosting our mood. Why not add a set to a me time gift basket for the special woman in your life who is struggling with mental illness.

Colour Your Own DIY Beeswax Wrap Kit

In a world where less plastic is better, Beeswax wraps are becoming a popular kitchen stable. TuBees Honey Colour Me DIY Beeswax Wrap Kits include everything you need to create and colour your own beeswax food wraps for you to enjoy or to use as a gift. All you need to do is grab your washable markers and put your creativity to work. Colour the fabric, and then iron it to set the colour.

Preheat the oven to 220°F or the lowest setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fabric on top. Place wax compound in a double boiler or glass measuring cup and set in a saucepan of water. Let melt! Evenly distribute wax compound all over your fabric with the included paint brush. Place the sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and look for any dry spots. Brush mixture over these uncovered areas, applying more coating as needed. Place back in the oven for a couple more minutes. Place the next wrap (s) you are going to make on top of the finished fabric to soak up any excess coating mixture. Walf the fabric in the air until it cools. Hang the fabric up to dry or set it on the back of a chair to dry. Do not lay directly on the table as stuff will stick to it. I found that it was easy to oversaturate, so keep this in mind.

To clean: Wash your wraps by hand in cool water with a mild dish soap. Place them on a drying rack or clothesline to dry.

Kits include: 2 medium (10″ x 11″) fabric and 2 small (6″x 7″) fabric to make a set of four wraps that can be used over and over again.

Two Kit Styles to Choose From: Kid Friendly Patterns and Advanced Adult Patterns.

This fun product is a collaboration of Tu-Bees Honey, Urban Evergreen and Colour Me Cushions.

The kits are perfect for those individuals that would like to make their own beeswax wraps or you make them as a personalized gift for someone else.
