Soaps From the Hive

Posted by workerbeej on September 29, 2007

Gianna Rose Atelier’s gift-boxed Royal Jelly Soaps are “enriched with Shea butter and Royal Jelly” and embossed with the image of an elegant bee, available in regular or guest soap size. These are high-end luxury gift items, with prices starting a $14 for a 6-ounce bar.

Beekeepers with a sideline in handmade soaps may be inspired by the market offerings of beautifully packaged soaps enriched with royal jelly, honey, and other products of the hive. This particular soap design is exclusive, of course, but many interesting soap molds with bee images are readily available from craft and bee supplies stores, or online. A basic honey soap recipe (and variations) may be found in the Value-Added Products from Beekeeping factsheet from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
