Waxing Kara Information

We promote a socially-conscious message about the importance of bees, not only through our personal health but also for the health and sustainability of the planet. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint at Waxing Kara® and one important way of doing this is finding ways to help save the honeybees. We preserve a large portion of our farmland specifically for bees. For example, at our Chesterhaven Beach Farm we devote at least 40 acres of land to grow plants that bees love. We began by removing genetically modified crops that farmers on the eastern shore planted because of their dependable yields. In its place we planted high-nectar indigenous plants, like wildflowers, lavender, fruit trees, bee balm, mints, sunflowers, buckwheat, several varieties of clover and much more. This amazing combination of plants inform our Spring and Autumn Artisanal Honey in a way that makes it irresistibly delicious. These plants don't produce crops we can harvest and sell; but not everything is about the bottom line. We maintain these natural habitats to keep the bees happy and thriving. That means with every purchase at Waxing Kara® you're doing your part to help save the bees! We Believe in Giving Back. At Waxing Kara®, we believe in creating and sharing opportunity. I have always felt that when you give, it comes back to you-not that that's why you do it. Doing for others is just another way of raising the bar for yourself. In my early thirties, I wanted to give back to the institution that helped make me who I am and created a scholarship foundation in honor of my father.
