Welcome to Nina’s Bees, a boutique apiary in the Blue Mountains. Nina Tverskikh is the beekeeper and apiarist behind this beautiful artisan skincare products for the body and face:

“A few years back, my life took an unexpected turn after listening to an intriguing podcast that revealed the secret life of bees. On that same day, I made the decision to give these clever buzzing creatures a sanctuary in my own backyard, and my apiary has been growing ever since.”

All the products are good for your skin and kind to the environment. Here you’ll find a range of soaps, balms and also a few home essentials, like bees wraps or tea towels.Nina use only organic beekeeping methods with no Queen excluders, letting bees build and manage their hives the way they want. The harvested beeswax is gently steamed and cleaned at their apiary.

Nina’s Bees balms and soaps are lovingly handcrafted in small batches, using only the finest organic and/or cold pressed oils, butters, botanicals, beeswax and essential oils.

Each balm is stored in resealable, recyclable aluminium container and soaps are packaged into cardboard boxes made of recycled paper.

Furthermore, the company follows national organic guidelines for beekeeping and is actively involved in the rescue and rehoming of wild bees from public spaces. Nina educates children on the importance of bees to our ecosystems by conducting bee talks at local schools, offering tips on how to grow bee-friendly gardens.

Nina’s Bees works closely with Native Oils of Australia to source single origin, Australian-grown native essential oils and natural ingredients for their products, creating zero waste in the process.
