5 out of 5 starsHello I wanted to say thank god for this lip balm. I love beeswax lip balms but some people make it with too little beeswax and too much oil. Leaving your lips greasy. A nice solid lip balm doesn't melt so easily and covers your lips in a moisture-locking layer. So smooth. I love beeswax lip balm and yours is done right- whoever makes it. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI love the peppermint chapstick, it has a soft amount of peppermint, nothing overbearing or too strong. Consistency is nice and glides on smooth. It did not melt on a hot day which is good. I am happy with my purchase, thank you!

5 out of 5 starsLove this chapstick! I ran out of a different chapstick brand that I really loved because it was all natural ingredients and no harmful chemicals, but they went out of business so I was in search of a replacement that would be just as good. It arrived on a hot day and didn’t melt which I’m also happy about. After reading reviews and receiving it, I am happy with my purchase. The process and shipping was good too. I will be a returning customer. Thank you!

1 out of 5 starsThese smelled amazing when I first opened my package. I lit one and had it burning for about 2 hours. It smelled great at first. However, when I re-lit the candle the next day, I could barely smell the scent, and as it burned, it slowly turned into this rancid burnt substance type smell. Disappointing. I gave an extra star because the jars are are at least cute.
About OnceUponAHive
Beautiful and unique gifts from our hive to yours!
We started our shop to share our love for beeswax candles and other home decor items. We fell in love with beeswax candles when we bought our first one many years ago at a renaissance festival. Now located in the beautiful mountains of Colorado at 8500 feet elevation, the air is fresh and crisp and the products we make reflect our love for nature and the environment while at the same time making your home a warmer more inviting place to welcome guests and family.
Our candle designs are such that they can serve as a unique home decoration item or you can burn them and fill your home with the soothing scent that only beeswax can provide. Don't worry, we sometimes find it hard to burn them as well because they look so nice on the shelf! We make each candle by hand using 100% natural beeswax and jute wicks.
Our wood products are again something we wanted to be unique in that they were decorative but also 100% functional. Whenever we can, we use reclaimed wood from old houses, etc that would normally be destined for the landfill. Finding this wood is half the fun. Some comes from handyman services we do and others are found digging around our local construction salvage yard. Every piece has history and we like to think that the many memories these wood planks have seen is stored in them and they bring nothing but good karma to your family and home.
