The Tacky Bee is a company based in Newcastle, Ontario that creates and sells beeswax wraps and linen bread bags. Upcycled 100% cotton is used for the wraps that are then dipped in jojoba oil, local beeswax and pine rosin. These wraps are an eco-friendly, antibacterial, reusable, biodegradable and breathable approach to food storage. They can be used over and over. Once the cotton is worn out it is biodegradable, unlike plastic. You should get about a year’s use out of your wrap depending on how it is handled.
Heavy-weight pure linen is used for the artisanal bread bags. Linen retains moisture unlike any other fabric. Using linen is the best way to maintain the qualities you want in your bread of a crusty crust and a soft interior unlike plastic storage which causes a chewy crust.
The Tacky Bee can contacted directly at thetackybee@gmail.com to make an order or you can find The Tacky Bee products in many stores across Ontario as well as on Facebook and Instagram. You can also order our products online through our Etsy shop.
