Last month, I wrote about the new subscription service, called MightyFix, from our friends at MightyNest. For $10 a month, they’ll send you full sized product that is actually worth at least $10 (and often, will have a far higher price point) and they’ll ship it for free. What’s more, anything else you want to add to your FIX from their site also ships for free.
For the September FIX, MightyNest is featuring a product called Bee’s Wrap. I first wrote about this nifty food storage solution two years ago and it remains one of my favorite tools for reducing plastic waste in the kitchen. And, as an added bonus, they’ve also included a recipe card featuring my Honey Sweetened Blueberry Jam with this FIX!
It is made in Vermont from organic cotton muslin that has been imbued with beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. You wrap a sheet around a block of cheese, a loaf of bread, or a dish, and then use the heat of your hands to mold the fabric into place. It keeps food fresh and when your sheet of Bee’s Wrap does wear out, you can put it in the compost instead of the landfill (can’t say that about plastic bags).
I find that these wrappers are quite easy to care for. For crumbs and condensation, a quick rinse will do it. For sticky residue, a wipe of gentle dish soap and a rinse in lukewarm water (you want to avoid the hottest water your tap can produce, in order to prevent the wax from melting off the fabric) is all you need. Let them air dry and then they’re ready to reuse again.
So sad I can’t get Mighty Fix in Canada. Have been using Abeego cloths, which are a Canadian equivalent. 14 year old finds the large size just right for packing a sandwich for lunch.
Was sad when I got my Mighty Fix 2 days ago and it wasn’t the Bees Wraps 🙁
It was an insulated metal cup. They must give out a selection of items so no one will know what they get. This post just seemed so sure it was this item that I believed it! Oh well.
Stacey, I am so sorry that you were disappointed. I really thought that all new subscribers were going to get the Bee’s Wrap.
It’s true, Marisa — all new subscribers receive the Bee’s Wraps! Thank you!

I too was looking forward to the Bees Wraps and instead received produce bags. They are nice though.
