The beeswax products from Little Bee Fresh are made from organic beeswax from Germany and Austria
The organic beeswax comes from small organic beekeepers in Germany and Austria. Although this is more expensive than conventional beeswax, Little Bee Fresh deliberately supports small beekeepers who follow organic guidelines and keep their bees in a natural way.
Organic beekeepers must follow certain organic guidelines. For example, the use of chemicals to control parasites or prevent diseases is prohibited. In addition, the bee colonies must be located so that the majority of the plants within a 3 km radius are organically grown or wild. Furthermore, they cannot be located near motorways, industrial areas, or waste incineration plants.
The beeswax products from Little Bee Fresh are made from organic cotton.
The sheets are printed with vegan ink in a small printing house in southern Germany, and the printing house voluntarily follows GOTS guidelines and uses approved ink.
After printing, the ink is set without the use of chemicals, using only hot steam so that the ink is anchored deep into the fibres and does not dissolve later. Then any colour residue is removed through a firmness wash. The fabric is then passed through a citric acid bath to neutralise the pH. It is then ironed and is ready to be treated with beeswax and tree resin.
Tree resin used in Little Bee Fresh products comes from traditional pitch production in Austria. The tree resin makes the beeswax sheets flexible and gives them the desired light stickiness. In addition, like beeswax, it has antibacterial properties that protect against damage and bacteria.
The tree resin used in these beeswax sheets comes from black pine and is harvested in nature in Lower Austria. The extraction of resin from black pine is an ancient craft called Pecherei in Lower Austria and has been part of UNESCO's cultural heritage in Austria since 2011.
The focus is on sustainability, and the tree is given enough time to regenerate. In this way, this ancient craft can be passed on and preserved from generation to generation.
