Our current selection of fine art books may be viewed on our TinyCat-alogue.

Here, every item tells a story, from handpicked European fine art books and elegant catalogues to ephemera that captures the essence of our shared past. At Veritas, we celebrate both human creativity and the tireless work of the humble bee, a creature as meticulous as a librarian and as ingenious as any artist.

Like a hive bustling with activity, our collection is beautifully ordered yet endlessly intriguing. We specialize in European fine art books, with a particular affection for the grandeur of 17th-century Italian masterpieces, as well as prints, extracts, and folios that add depth and breadth to any collection. Each piece is chosen with an eye for authenticity and historical significance yet presented with a touch of wonder for art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and curious minds alike.

Our philosophy? Just as bees organize their world with precision while still crafting stunningly intricate structures, so do we strive to provide a curated selection that is both rich in detail and steeped in inspiration. Whether you’re here for a timeless art book or drawn to the charm of nature’s finest architects, Veritas Books & Bees promises an experience that’s as enlightening as it is enchanting.

Questions about any item may be submitted here or via the TinyCat-alogue.

"I've been relying on Neshika honey for years now as the best, locally produced honey. The team has taken their activities to a new level with the Bee Safari workshops. They set the pace and levels according to the group (we had young children so they made it easy with enjoyable, hands-on activities) but all ages enjoyed the information and chances for interactions with the bees, the beekeepers, the materials, the protective clothing and, of course, at the end- tasting the honey!"

… it was the natural ingredients, the charming packaging, and overall wonderful feel and scents of the products themselves that make me a repeat customer. I especially love the sun balm- wonderful feel and you want to put it on face and body -- with no artificial anything. And the beehive candles are a wonderful gift.

... a small enterprise that completely rocked my world! I bought a re-usable food cover made of cloth infused with bee wax. Ideal for making a baggie for veggies, nuts, covering small bowls. Wraping my toothbrush and toothpaste together if I am traveling, wapping pens together in my pencil case etc etc. Using this gives me an alternative to cling film and plastic sandwitch bags and makes me feel good about myself and my relationship with the environment.

I was really surprised when my 11 yr. old son asked specifically for MORE Neshikha lip balm. Our entire family loves the fantastic scents and uses them all the time.

“I’m reluctant to endorse this product widely because when you find something good you want to keep it secret and exclusively for yourself. But the altruistic side of me wins and I can unreservedly attest to the honey being WOW…The natural earthiness of the honey just caresses the taste buds …”

Neshikha lip balms go on smooth as silk. Refreshing, nourishing, healing scent combinations make me sing my heart out.

I’ve been loving using my Neshika Lipbalm over the last few months. The SpiriMint one is delightful and refreshing. I’ve used many natural-ingredient lip balms and I appreciate the high quality of Neshika’s ingredients. And I am happy to support a local business and a great cause.

I am a big fan of Neshikha lip balm — especially the RoseMiri Lavender. The feel, the scent, the delicious list of natural ingredients… When I use this excellent product, I know I’m treating myself with love.

For me the difference between your natural skin care and the commercial varieties is gourmet food to fast food. I love the way it smells, the way it feels on my skin, everything about it. I enjoy applying it because I feel like I’m putting something good on and into my body.
