At Florence & Bee we have four clear values; sustainability, using natural ingredients, helping to save the bees and creating luxurious products to transport our customers to places of happiness!
When creating our "Inspired By" range we drew inspiration from iconic travel destinations and used this inspiration to create our unique blend of essential oils. Each carefully designed candle fragrance will transport you to a distant veranda with lemons, flowers and herbs all warmed gently in the Mediterranean sunshine right through to breathing in the crisp fresh air while enjoying the breathtaking landscapes in Scandinavia.
We are proud to provide natural, vegan and sustainable products which not only inject happiness into your home, but that also helps you reduce your carbon footprint.
Our passion for protecting the planet manifests itself with our desire to help protect the bees, we are very pleased to donate a proportion of our sales to bee friendly charities to help them continue their great work.
Why do Florence & Bee care about saving Bees?
Without bees, the flowers and plants that provide the essential oils used in our products would cease to exist. We feel duty bound to help our little buzzing partner, the humble bee.
- 90% of wild flowers require pollinators
- 75% of food crops require pollinators
- 35% of agricultural crops require pollinators
- There are 25,000 species of bees globally
- UN sees the threat to bees as a threat to world hunger
Our bee sustainability strategy:
We’ve performed research surrounding the global issues affecting pollinators and specifically the humble bee. Our conclusions have enabled us to create an ambitious but vital bee sustainability strategy. Below, we have listed a few examples from our strategy, for more information and how you can help, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
- Promoting bee friendly garden practices
- Collaborating with charities and NGO's
- Promoting UN World Bee Day
- Sponsoring research projects
- Engagement with suppliers
- Carefully selected suppliers
- Raising awareness through education; schools, social media, press, local communities
At Florence and Bee, we are currently a small operation but with big ambitions. As we scale up our operations, our power and influence over our suppliers and stakeholders will be used to improve the welfare and populations of our pollinators that are vital to global agriculture and habitats.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you enjoy your purchase as much as we enjoyed making it!

Welcome to our little family! We started Florence & Bee in 2019 after we had Florence and the decision to do so has filled us with so much joy.
We spent a year learning about essential oils, what is important to our customers when making a purchase and how we could create a product that will make people smile.
Our range of plant-based soy wax candles, tealights and wax melts are natural, vegan and eco-friendly and all of our packaging is sustainable, a number of factors that are very close to our hearts.
We're looking forward to spreading happiness through our products and getting to know our customers over the coming months!
