Busy Bees Candle Co. makes handmade 100% pure beeswax candles from their California family farm. Slow burning, smokeless, and cultivated with a mission to help save the bees—every candle supports the regrowth of bee colonies.

I originally branded this company, and when the new owner took over, she wanted a refresh that felt more apothecary-inspired—think Anthropologie meets natural luxury. The kind of candles you collect, not just burn.

The rebrand centered on custom watercolor illustrations of California native wildflowers, a sun-faded palette that nods to the coastal vibe, and organic textures that create depth. The result is relaxed, refined, and worthy of being displayed on a shelf long after it's burned down.
