Where does Mike & Niki's honey come from?

Every jar comes from our own apiaries across Silicon Valley – Campbell, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Half Moon Bay, Carneros, and more. Mike is our head beekeeper. We harvest, bottle, and label everything ourselves at our Campbell facility – the last farm in Campbell.

Does local honey actually help with allergies?

Raw local honey contains trace amounts of the same pollen your immune system reacts to. Many of our customers use a daily spoonful from their own zip code starting weeks before allergy season as part of their routine. We don't make medical claims, but 13 years of repeat customers tells us something.

What's the difference between varietal and wildflower honey?

Wildflower honey reflects whatever the bees foraged in a given season – a snapshot of that place and time. Varietal honey comes from apiaries placed near a dominant bloom: orange blossom, eucalyptus, sage. Different flavors, different bodies, different colors – same real honey.

Is your honey raw and unfiltered?

Yes. We don't pasteurize, we don't ultra-filter, and we don't blend with anything we didn't harvest. Just strained to remove wax and bee parts. That's why it crystallizes – real honey does.

Yes. Free shipping on orders over $50, $5.99 under. We ship across the US from Campbell, California.

Beeswax – Pure California Beeswax Bars & Blocks | Mike & Niki's

Pure California beeswax – from our own hives. We sell beeswax in every format: 1oz bars, hex molds, 1lb blocks, and 3lb blocks. Our California Gold line is premium filtered beeswax, golden yellow, and smells exactly like a beehive should.

What Makes Our Beeswax Special

This is real beeswax from real hives, not the bleached, deodorized industrial stuff. It comes from the same apiaries across Silicon Valley where we harvest our honey. The color, the smell, the texture – that's all natural.

Uses for Beeswax

Candle making, lip balm, lotion bars, wood polish, leather conditioning, encaustic art, food wraps, sewing (thread wax), mustache wax, surfboard wax base, and dozens of DIY projects. Our 3lb block is the best value for crafters and small businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your beeswax filtered?

Our California Gold line is filtered to remove debris while keeping the natural color and scent. It's clean enough for cosmetic use and candle making right out of the package.

What's the difference between the shapes?

Same wax, different molds. The 1oz bar and hex are great for small projects or gifts. The 1lb block is the standard for candlemakers. The 3lb block is bulk pricing for serious crafters and businesses.

Can I use this for lip balm and skincare?

Absolutely. Our beeswax is cosmetic-grade – used by DIY skincare makers for lip balms, lotion bars, salves, and body butters. It's a natural emulsifier and skin protectant.

As Local as It Gets!

Amazing local honey! It’s clear how much love and expertise goes into their product. Make sure to chat with Mike or Niki if you get the chance; their passion is contagious, and you’ll walk away knowing exactly how your honey was sourced. Support local and go see them!

Great honey!

This is the best local honey our whole family enjoys having everyday!!

fragrance too strong

It's pretty easy to apply to the skin (doens't take too much effort to rub it on), but I don't like the smell of the product at all. I would tolerate it if it were a natural smell of the beewax, but no, this is a perfumy kind of odor. And it's strong and lingering. I don't recommend it.

Anne, we get that this did not work for you. and we will take that on the chin. with our next batch we will weigh your opinion in our process
I privately sent you a solution
We hope you will try other things and still be a fan. NIKI
