A Warm, Natural Glow is Now Lit: Queen B is Open!

Kia ora and welcome!

We are absolutely buzzing with excitement to finally share our light with you. After many months of careful crafting, testing, and dreaming, we are thrilled to announce that Queen B is now officially open!

Our journey began with a simple love for two things: the incredible work of New Zealand’s bees and the quiet, grounding ritual of candlelight. We wanted to create something that honoured both—candles that are not just beautiful objects, but a pure and natural experience for your home.

What you’ll find in our store:

  • 100% Pure NZ Beeswax: Every candle is made from nothing but ethically sourced, pure New Zealand beeswax. No paraffin, no synthetic fragrances, no dyes. Just the clean, sweet scent of the hive and the brilliant, sunny flame that only beeswax gives.

  • Handcrafted with Heart: Our decorative candles are lovingly hand-poured in small batches right here in Cromwell. We celebrate the natural texture and unique ‘bloom’ of real beeswax—each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

For us, this is more than a shop. It’s a celebration of local craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and the simple magic of natural light. We invite you to explore our first collection of decorative candles, each made to bring a touch of warmth and timeless beauty to your space.

Thank you for supporting a small, local dream. We can’t wait for you to experience the glow.

With warmth,

Lubos Tyce
