Where natural beeswax candles, home fragrance and nourishing skincare is made with care on our Cumbrian smallholding.
Our collection includes hand-poured beeswax candles, soothing bath tea infusions, aromatherapy shower steamers, traditional natural soaps and treatment candles designed to support the skin.
Each product is crafted with sustainable ingredients like beeswax, coconut wax and essential oils, inspired by our family’s beekeeping story. The Hidden Hives is about creating moments of calm, slowing down and filling your home and self-care routine with something that feels real.
Just Collected my order of wax melts, room spray, diffuser and honey (so lucky to get a jar). Wonderful range of products and Karen’s knowledge of everything is invaluable. I’m a repeat customer and will continue supporting this great family run small business.

I was given a beautiful Hidden Hives gift set for my birthday from Julie Williams. What a wonderful surprise, the products and the packaging are all so lovely, I have only used a shower steamer so far but what amazing aromas. Looking foward to trying the rest and will definitely be buying as gifts for others. Thank you.

Wow, just received a Hidden Hives candle as a birthda gift today. I have to say it’s the most beautifully packaged gift I’ve seen. There’s instructions from Ike & Karen along with care instructions. The candle itself is within a stunning glass holder which i’ll use again and again. I could wait to light it so as soon as it was out of the bag it was lite and smells absolutely amazing – orchid & Lotus Wood. I would certainly recommend Hidden Hives if your looking for a special gift.

Received my first order and am absolutely over the moon with it. It was packaged beautifully and extremely professional. Very impressed with the packaging and how it all looked. The fragrances from the wax melts are amazing. So delicate but beautifully put together and work brilliantly. On my third tea light of the first melt and the smell is still going strong. Great purchase and I would highly recommend. Many thanks for these beautiful products.

My eldest son asked for bees for his 16th birthday. In preparation, we both enrolled on a weekend “basic beekeeping” course. From there, what started as a shared curiosity soon grew into something more. Placing the hives in a quiet hidden area on our Cumbrian small holding Hidden Hives was created.
