Step Inside the Colony
A honeybee colony is what’s known as a superorganism. Thousands of individual bees functioning as one unified body, with a collective consciousness.
The Apiarian Home's five fragrances are inspired by that intelligence. Each scent is drawn from a role and place within the colony. Like the hive itself, they are designed to collectively support your daily rhythms and rituals. Together, they form a holistic collection to bring the essence of nature into your home.
About the Formulas
Within all of these scents, beeswax is the constant ingredient.
Each blend starts with an alcohol base infused with raw beeswax, bringing in the wax’s natural esters and compounds.
One pound of beeswax requires honeybees to consume roughly eight pounds of honey, representing the energy gathered from more than 16 million flower visits. It's a precious ingredient, embodying one of the many ways that bees are the alchemists of nature.
Beeswax has been used by humans for a very long time. Face cream, medicines, tools, waterproofing, candles, and so much more. This is a different and immersive way to experience the wondrous substance.
