Roddenhoney
Our story

From the hive to your hands.

Roddenhoney is the craft arm of RODDEN & CO HONEY LIMITED, a New Zealand company incorporated in 2000. Our roots are in beekeeping — and rather than put beeswax on the shelf as another jar, we decided to hand the craft over to you.

A warm candle-making workshop with beeswax, moulds and linen

Why kits, not finished candles

There's a particular pleasure in making something with your hands — the moment wax turns from solid to liquid to solid again, the first time a wick you placed catches light. We build complete kits so that pleasure isn't gated behind scattered supplies or guesswork. Beeswax, cotton wicks, moulds and a clear recipe: everything to pour, in one box.

A non-food craft brand

We're deliberate about this: Roddenhoney sells non-food craft materials. We don't sell honey to eat or any finished food product. Our beeswax is a raw material for making candles and seals — a hobby supply, not a pantry item.

What we believe

  • Craft over convenience. The making is the point. We give you the means and get out of the way.
  • Natural materials. Real beeswax, cotton wicks, honest moulds.
  • Safety first. Heat and flame deserve respect — every kit ships with clear guidance.
  • Made to gather. Candles are for tables, gifts and shared evenings. Glow is better together.
