Hi. My name is Dee
and together with my husband Haith, we own and operate Busy Bee Candles! The
friendly face of the scented candle world.
It all began as a
hobby making scented candles and wax tarts for our own use. I used to work in
an office & hubby worked as a chartered civil engineer. We used to buy
British and American scented candles and wax tarts to use at home but there was
always something missing with these. They were predominantly made of Paraffin
(which I hate as it’s a crude oil derivative), burned poorly, smelt synthetic
and were so expensive. That’s when we started to experiment making our own. We
gave little baskets of our handmade goodies as gifts to family and friends for
birthdays and as Christmas presents and that’s when it began!
Friends started
asking us to make them a batch and then friends of friends started to ask if
they could buy them. Before long it became a full time hobby occupying all our
spare time and more. Then we hit on the idea of turning our little hobby based
in our kitchen into a full time business.
We literally had no experience of retail or supplying shops etc. We used
to hand write our fragrance labels for every candle & wax tart!
We’ve come such a
long way. We now run Busy Bee Candles from spacious workshops at our
smallholding in Wales. We offer probably the largest selection of scented
candle scents in the UK (possibly the world) with well over 200 stunning
fragrances.
Busy Bee Candles
has grown rapidly since we started such a short time ago. We now ship thousands
of parcels in the UK as well as internationally. We also supply retailers in the
UK, Poland, Germany, Sweden, France, Italy and Finland. More are on the way.
Busy Bee Candles
offer a huge selection of scented candles and wax tarts as well as bath &
body products, gift baskets and more.
We’ve innovated continuously offering a
world first No Clean Wax Tart that leaves very little clean up and our latest
innovation, the super strength Magik Beanz melts.
We’ve also recently introduced
a new line up of Elegance Candles featuring wooden crackling wicks and a really
huge fragrance throw and new bath and body products that have been really well
received. Other new products are currently being developed.
With inquiries
arriving every day from the UK and overseas, the future looks bright for Busy
Bee Candles. We’ve always stuck by our values of offering a superior quality
handmade product made using natural ingredients at a great value for money
price. Every one of our thousands of products is made by hand to this day. After
all, we really did start out in our kitchen and that’s the way we like it.
We are very social
at Busy Bee Candles. We are always on Twitter (@BusyBeeCandles, https://twitter.com/BusyBeeCandles)
or on Facebook (https://facebook.com/BusyBeeCandles)
talking to customers, running a comp or sorting out a glitch. Follow us, like
us and talk to us. We love a good chat J.
We absolutely love
working for ourselves. It feels like an extended family with our small team at
Busy Bee and I couldn’t imagine working for anyone else again. My advice to
anyone out there that has an idea or loves doing something in particular – do
it! Turn your passion into your day job.
