Oct23188 Based in the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains, in New South Wales, Australia, award-winning family company Nina’s Bees is home to beautiful, artisan skincare products, and bee themed gifts. The company takes a holistic approach to bee keeping, and is actively involved in the rescue and rehoming of wild bees from public spaces. Nina’s Bees is keen to emphasize the essential role bees play in the ecosystem, and urges people to become better connected with the environment surrounding us all. Nina Tverskikh is a female entrepreneur, small business owner, and passionate beekeeper. Her unique company Nina’s Bees aims to provide customers with a range of high-quality skincare products that have been manufactured conscientiously and naturally from ethically kept hives. All Nina’s bees were born from natural swarms, and her colonies build their own comb. This determines the size and dynamics of the bee population within the hive, and underlines Nina’s natural approach which is based on a love for and respect of the bee colony. Nina’s beekeeping ethics means there are no Queen excluders, plastic frames or pesticides in the hives. The bee population also includes a natural mix of sexes, like drones and worker bees. Nina’s bees help to create a range of superlative products, all made using only the finest natural, organic ingredients. The company’s safe and ethical approach to skincare has been recognised by the industry, with balms, oils, and soaps that have won a staggering 43 individual awards. “Nina’s Bees products are lovingly handcrafted with natural, organic ingredients in small batches in the Blue Mountains NSW. Nina’s Bees products have been certified Australian Certified Toxic-Free®, Made Safe®, Cruelty Free®.” Nina strongly believes that the more communities learn about the essential role played by bees, the more connected they become with the natural world and their own environment. To bolster this further, she conducts bee talks at local schools, educating fascinated children about the importance of bees to our local ecosystems. She also gives talks to gardening communities and local business clubs, offering valuable information about how they can help by growing beefriendly gardens. At the very heart of Nina’s Bees there is an ardent commitment to sustainability, with the implementation of an admirable policy whereby Nina’s Bees and their supplier of organic oils agreed on a circular model “reuse, reduce, recycle”, where the same oil containers are being returned , cleaned and refilled with the same ingredients on regular basis. Nina’s Bees efforts to create effective, 100% natural products in a sustainable way have been recognised by the beauty industry. It was awarded the Social Responsibility Award 2020 (https:// australiannontoxicawards.com. au/product/ninas-bees-winnerof-the-social-responsibilityaward-body/) by the Australian Non-Toxic Awards because its beautifully created products are safe, ethical and sustainable. Furthermore, it recognised that the company makes an outstanding effort to give back to society and create change, and this impressed the judges greatly.

This was given in recognition of Nina’s Bees superior range of Eco-products, including its carefully chosen ingredients and packaging. Together with its organic beekeeping practices and association with Native Oils Australia, Nina’s Bees is championed for creating safe, pure and effective skincare products that really work. Nina’s passion for bees shines through everything she does, and is evident in the buzzing business she has built from the ground up. We are all so grateful for the podcast Nina heard once, from where she learnt the importance of bees to the ecosystem, and the lessons her self-taught, herbalist grandmother passed down to her. If it wasn’t for these two important occurrences, Nina might never have started her journey as a budding apiarist and organic skincare guru. Luckily, fate intervened and brought Nina to exactly the place and time she was meant to be. Nina’s Bees has now been recognised with two new titles from the APAC Business Awards, Best Sustainable Skincare Company 2023 - New South Wales & Herbal Remedy Advocate of the Year 2023: Nina Tverskikh.
