Our Story

Honeycomb Botanicals is a Canadian brand offering a line of natural honeybee products for your home, body, bath and skin. Launched in 2010 by Aneta Chencinski, we are founded upon a deep admiration for bees and a desire to provide an alternative to the chemicals and toxins in everyday food and beauty products.

When it comes to skincare, we believe that you shouldn’t have to choose between all-natural and highly effective and that truly great skincare should not have a negative impact on the earth. To that end, our mission is simple: to harness nature’s most powerful creation into a line of natural products that benefit your well-being and pay respect to our planet’s most incredible creators.

A message from our founder

Honeycomb Botanicals was borne out of my passionate desire to help families thrive in the demanding world in which we live.

Aneta Chencinski, Founder

 

In gratitude for the bees who make such a difference in our world.

As a highly-trained chemist and deeply experienced psychotherapist, I’ve seen first-hand the damage wrought by the materials we’ve been putting in, and on, our bodies. Families were suffering and I yearned to help, to do “something”, to be part of a solution.  The “something” came into my life on a wing and a buzz. I have long been enchanted by the power of nature to heal and I’m a true believer in the potency and strength of Nature’s gifts in their purest form. A scientist to the core, though, I did a lot of research and eventually concluded that bee-related products just might be the safe and powerful answer my coaching clients—not to mention my precious family—were looking for. As I dug deeper, I became amazed by the remarkable healing power of products from the hive. I began recommending the products of the bees and I noticed how quickly people responded to the healthy supply of nutrients and minerals - the products delivered to both body and brain. The health and behavioural changes were magnificent!!!

Honeycomb Botanicals was duly launched as a delicate and noble collaboration between my team and Nature at its purest, most harmonious, most potent. Our products vibrate with health, liveliness and happiness! Into Honeycomb Botanicals I have woven all my knowledge, experience and love. I’ve combined it with the best that Nature has to offer and am proud to present to you a line of products that is packed with the best of the best: Raw Ontario Bee Pollen, Propolis, Raw and Unpasteurized Honey, Raw and dry Royal Jelly, Skin Care products, Beeswax Candles, and more!

To bring you even more delight, I’ve recently launched BeeJolie Cosmetics.

This project is especially dear to my heart, as it was born out of my deep heartbreak and feelings of helplessness over the mighty fight of my mother and sister with the cancers that eventually claimed their lives. In the wake of their battles, I wanted to soothe, I wanted to support. And, as a mother, a daughter, and a sister, I wanted to help! I jumped into the task of developing clean and gentle ointments to sooth and nourish from the outside in. 

BeeJolie products are made with natural ingredients from the Bee Hive, and local plants and they are packaged in glass containers. Our products are clean gentle enough to be used by individuals with delicate and sensitive skin. I invite you to explore what we have to offer here, and see what resonates with you. Then treat yourself, inside and out, to the “clean” Canadian products we’ve made available to you, products that will make you look and feel younger, healthier and full of life and vitality.
