Cheeky Bee is the brainchild of Perry and partner Amanda. Established in 1999, Cheeky Bee grew out of the search for a natural alternative to chemically-based toxic candles. After learning about the benefits and purity of beeswax, they started making candles that would inspire and amaze. beeswax candles burn cleaner and longer making them more cost effective and pleasant than paraffin candles. There is nothing better than the smell of a beeswax candle gently burning.
Painstakingly handcrafted in Ontario, Canada, they still use the timeless methods of handmaking each candle. Just as our chandler ancestors did these past 4000 years, each candle is hand poured, hand dripped, hand dipped and hand finished. They are proud of all that is lovingly created in their humble little 'factory'.
"Although we do not maintain our own hives, over time we have established long-term relationships with local, ethical and environmentally aware beekeepers. By supporting local farmers, we are guaranteed not only a constant supply of the finest 100% pure beeswax in the world but also a fair price for the people who make it all happen. Bees are crucial for the survival of mankind, and the beekeepers are crucial for the collecting the honey and wax – it's a mutually beneficial relationship!"
