Bee's Wrap is reusable food storage made from simple, natural ingredients that help keep food fresh. Designed to replace single-use plastic wrap in your everyday kitchen, Bee's Wrap creates a breathable seal around food using the warmth of your hands. It's perfect for storing everything from bread and cheese to produce, sandwiches, and leftovers.
Using Bee's Wrap is simple. Place it over food or a bowl, then use the warmth of your hands to gently mold the wrap into place. As it cools, it creates a protective, breathable seal that helps keep food fresh.
Use Bee's Wrap in the refrigerator, on the counter, or packed in your lunch bag.
With regular use and proper care, Bee's Wrap can last up to one year.
When your wrap becomes soft, thin, or no longer sticks to itself, it's reached the end of its useful life. At that point, you can compost it or use it as a natural fire starter.
Bee's Wrap is great for wrapping bread, cheese, fruits, vegetables, herbs, sandwiches, snacks, and leftovers. It can also be used to cover bowls and dishes.
To keep your wraps in great condition, avoid using them with raw meat or fish, and don't wrap hot foods until they've cooled completely.
Hand wash your Bee's Wrap in cool water with mild dish soap, then allow it to air dry before storing.
To help extend its life, avoid hot water, microwaves, ovens, dishwashers, and other heat sources, as heat can soften the natural wax coating.
Original Bee's Wrap is made with four simple ingredients: GOTS-certified organic cotton, responsibly sourced beeswax, organic plant oil, and tree resin. Together, these natural materials create the breathable seal that helps keep food fresh.
Our Vegan Wraps replace beeswax with candelilla wax and also include soy wax, organic coconut oil, and tree resin for a similar look, feel, and performance.

Plastic wrap seals food completely airtight, trapping in moisture and speeding up mold, sogginess, and off odors. Plus it can shed microplastics into your food which can be damaging to our health.
Beeswax wraps work differently: the breathable seal lets just enough air and moisture escape to keep food fresh without drying it out.
Bee's Wrap is best for foods that benefit from a little airflow like bread, cheese, produce, sandwiches, snacks, and leftovers. It's not designed for raw meat or fish, or for wrapping hot food before it's cooled.
