Our genetics are Italian based, chosen from the best of our best hives here at Elzner Farms®. They are bred to thrive here in Texas. We keep the bees in areas with plenty of wild forage so they are not subjected to the pesticides and herbicides of monocrops.

What’s included: A 5 frame Pro-nuc box filled with bees, a freshly mated 2026 Elzner FarmsQueen®, 2-3 frames of brood, a frame of pollen/honey and a frame to grow on. The 5th frame may or may not be drawn out.

We love this hand made blend of beeswax, butters and oils to keep those lips smooth. Lip balm made the way it should be—all the good stuff, without synthetic chemicals or flavors.

Beeswax creates a breathable barrier on the skin that locks in moisture while protecting against irritants, wind, and pollutants.

Cocoa butter is a superstar ingredient in lip balm, known for its rich, velvety texture and deep nourishment. It contains vitamins E and K, which protect lips from environmental damage and premature aging.

Shea butter is rich in fatty acids (like oleic and stearic acid) that moisturize and soften dry, cracked lips.

Sunflower oil is known for its moisturizing properties and is rich in vitamin E making it a wonderful antioxidant. It is non-comedogenic and and contains compounds like linoleic acid to help soothe irritated skin.

Lanolin acts as a humectant and emollient—draws moisture into the skin and seals it in, making it ideal for very dry, cracked areas (like lips).

Please note, since we do not use chemical preservatives be sure to use clean hands to apply and use within 6 months.

Ingredients: beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, sunflower oil, lanolin, vitamin E oil, essential oil (except fragrance free)
