From a soft breeze rustling the leaves, to the melodic chirping of crickets and pretty singing of birds, as summer transforms the natural world there’s no shortage of instruments taking part in this unique symphony of wild music. The determined and cheerful buzz that accompanies bees as they flit from one flower to the next is perhaps one of the most important foundational notes of this delightful song, just as bees themselves are such a vital part of our ecosystem. These hard-working insects serve as the inspiration behind one of our newest candle pots, and we’ve dedicated this special blog to them and their interesting lives.

Coloured with blues and greens like precious gemstones, dragonflies are a sight to behold as they dart between leaves and branches, their wings moving almost imperceptibly as they dance through the sky. Here in the UK they’re a staple of summertime, hovering over gardens and bodies of water as we enjoy the warmer weather, a silent presence with wings that glisten in the sun.
