Our Story

From Our Hives to Your Home

Exelle Bees began with a love for beekeeping and a passion for creating natural products our family could trust. Using beeswax from our own hives and carefully chosen botanicals, we started making balms, scrubs, and body mousses that were simple, nourishing, and beautiful to use.

Alongside crafting skincare, we are also dedicated to queen breeding and pollination services, helping to support healthy hives and stronger harvests across our region. Bees are at the heart of everything we do — from keeping colonies thriving to sharing their gifts in our handmade products.

Every product is handcrafted in small batches in New Zealand, combining traditional care with modern inspiration. From Kawakawa balm to luxury fragrance-inspired scrubs, our range is designed to leave your skin soft, glowing, and pampered — without the need for extra moisturisers.

We believe in honest ingredients, thoughtful making, and the magic of bees. What started in our kitchen has grown into a colony of customers who share our love for natural, handmade care.
