Oakdale Bees was founded by Elisabeth Barton-Grew who fulfilled a lifelong passion to care for and work with bees by setting up her own beehives in 2015. These are set in 4 acres of wild meadow fields on the edge of Royal Windsor Forest in Berkshire, UK. 

Experienced at producing a range of beeswax related products, in 2021 Elisabeth launched the Beevitalise Range of organic polishes - a collection of nourishing and restorative balms to encourage the repair and revitalisation of old or existing items before buying new.
