From Collombatti Naturals to Blossom & Hive

From Passion to Purpose

Blossom & Hive is a small, family-owned business rooted in simple, sustainable living on the Macleay Valley Coast of New South Wales.

How It All Began

Our story started with a humble goal: selling excess honey and beeswax to cover alpaca feed during a severe drought. What began as a way to get by soon grew into a passion for self-sufficiency and eco-friendly living.

Turning Passion Into a Business

When the 2020 pandemic disrupted our lives and work, we turned this passion into a full-time business. Each product we create reflects our commitment to mindful living, sustainability, and the use of natural, locally sourced ingredients.

Facing Life’s Challenges

In 2024, Rob was diagnosed with two types of cancer. With his health as our focus, and due to his existing anaphylaxis, we stepped away from beekeeping. Instead of giving up, we chose to continue our vision by partnering with trusted local beekeepers and producers, ensuring every candle, balm, and tea blend is made with the same integrity and care.

A New Chapter in 2025

In 2025, Collombatti Naturals became Blossom & Hive. The new name reflects growth while continuing the same values of sustainability, care, and connection that began on our family farm.

What We Offer Today

Blossom & Hive now brings you a thoughtfully curated range of beeswax candles, honey-based skincare, hand-blended chai and teas, and zero-waste essentials. Each piece is designed to bring warmth, simplicity, and connection to your home while supporting local, sustainable production.

Living Simply and Sustainably

Living simply and sustainably is at the heart of everything we do. Every time you choose Blossom & Hive, you are not only nourishing yourself but also supporting a small family business that values nature, community, and mindful choices.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support makes a real difference.

— Sue, Rob, and the Murphy Family
