NEW packaging mock ups for Waterford Bee Company's all-natural beeswax lip balm and salves! This has been a long process to get our tins printed! That means time savings. We reduce cost by no longer having to print labels and spending late nights sticking those labels on hundreds of tins at a time. We worked with a great designer and our tin supplier has been dynamite working with us through multiple versions and production proofs.

Excited to have this young beekeeper joining us this summer in the hives. Waterford Bee Company is a family affair! He helps at markets, packs online orders, helps produce social media content and FINALLY wanted to put the last suit he will ever wear on! He's asking questions, learning tools, moving equipment and hoping he doesn't get stung this summer. Wish Calvin luck in the comments below.
