A wonderfully clever pig
Made to order - expect 2 - 3 days before dispatch.
Pure beeswax novelty candle. 60g of pure beeswax bacon. 10 cm tall.
Somerset beeswax candles. Individually hand-poured in our family workshop on Cox’s Farm. This highly detailed beeswax pig is an absolute pig to de-mould and therefore not held in high stock numbers. If you would like to pre-order if shown as 'out of stock' and are not in a hurry for it then please email: buzz@coxsfarmhoney.com
This candle should not be consumed, however it is suitable for for use as a novelty candle gift for vegetarians, Caution Advisory for vegans as some may consider bee farming for honey and beeswax to be animal exploitation and in some cases, it definitely is and worth getting a bee in your bonnet about... Discuss!
In England once, there lived a big and wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain
That Piggy had a massive brain.
He worked out sums inside his head,
There was no book he hadn't read.
He knew what made an airplane fly,
He knew how engines worked and why.
He knew all this, but in the end
One question drove him round the bend:
He simply couldn't puzzle out
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for his birth?
Why was he placed upon this earth?
His giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night.
All in a flash he saw the light.
He jumped up like a ballet dancer
And yelled, 'By gum, I've got the answer! '
'They want my bacon slice by slice
'To sell at a tremendous price!
'They want my tender juicy chops
'To put in all the butcher's shops!
'They want my pork to make a roast
'And that's the part'll cost the most!
'They want my sausages in strings!
'They even want my chitterlings!
'The butcher's shop! The carving knife!
'That is the reason for my life! '
Such thoughts as these are not designed
To give a pig great peace of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand,
And piggy with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grisly bit
So let's not make too much of it,
Except that you must understand
That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,
He ate him up from head to toe,
Chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet,
Because there was so much to eat,
And when he finished, Pig, of course,
Felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly he scratched his brainy head
And with a little smile he said,
'I had a fairly powerful hunch
'That he might have me for his lunch.
'And so, because I feared the worst,
'I thought I'd better eat him first.'
Roald Dahl. "The Pig."
Just to reassure you, this little piggy is a lady and would never behave in such an alarming manner, though she is very bright.

Some see selling honey as exploitation — we see it as a partnership.
We practise ethical beekeeping that supports wild pollinators, strengthens local ecosystems, and helps protect bee populations threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. In our hives, the bees always come first: queens’ wings are never clipped, swarming is allowed, and the bees keep the vast majority of their honey. The small surplus we harvest funds their care and conservation, helping us maintain healthy, thriving colonies that pollinate the plants we all depend on.
Our apiaries are limited to a maximum of four colonies per well-stocked acre to avoid competition with wild pollinators. At our Steart site, we’ve reduced this to just two colonies due to local ecological pressures.
We’re committed to raising awareness of the challenges facing wild pollinators — from habitat loss and the decline of wildflower meadows to the scarcity of safe, chemical-free forage. We plant for all pollinators and leave parts of our garden to grow wild, and we encourage you to do the same.
Can I visit Cox’s Farm?
We don’t have a physical shop you can visit. All our honey and products are available online, so you can enjoy them delivered straight to your door.
Is honey safe to consume during pregnancy?
Raw honey – it’s ok for you to eat honey, but you should NOT give it to your baby until they’re over a year old.
Do you offer a trade discount?
We don’t offer trade discounts as we keep our prices as low as possible. You are welcome to buy in volume from our website at the listed price shown.
Do you offer beekeeping courses?
