Sakolla 2 Pack Honeycomb Silicone Soap Molds, 6 Cavity Hexagon Bee Molds for Soap Review (2026)

Who this honeycomb mold fits

Honey and beeswax themed soap is a popular niche within handmade bar soap, and a hexagon honeycomb cavity is the most direct way to signal that theme visually without relying only on scent or ingredients. This Sakolla listing includes two silicone trays, each with six hexagon cavities, for twelve bee-shaped bars total in one pour across both molds. It suits a soap maker building out a honey, oat or beeswax themed product line who wants a distinctive shape to match the concept, more than someone who only occasionally wants a novelty mold. The two-tray set also gives enough volume for a small market batch or a gift set without needing multiple separate purchases of a single mold.

What the dimensions and material mean

Each tray measures roughly 9.6 by 7.2 by 1.1 inches, with individual hexagon cavities sized at about 3 by 2.6 by 1.1 inches and holding roughly 2.5 oz of batter, figures worth checking against your recipe before pouring a full batch. The molds are made from food grade silicone that is BPA free, and Sakolla states a temperature range from negative 40 to positive 446 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher use. That wide temperature range and multi-surface safety go beyond what soap making alone requires, which is typical for silicone molds marketed across candle, resin, polymer clay and baking uses in addition to soap, as this listing is.

Using it for honeycomb bars

The textured honeycomb surface that gives these bars their signature look can also trap tiny air bubbles during a pour, so many makers spritz the batter with isopropyl alcohol after pouring to help bubbles rise and pop before the soap sets, a standard technique for detailed or textured molds rather than something unique to this one. Silicone's flexibility makes unmolding the bee shapes straightforward once the soap has fully cured, popping out cleanly from the individual hexagon wells. Because the finished bars are hexagon rather than a standard rectangle, sellers packaging bars for retail need to plan for that shape specifically, since off-the-shelf rectangular soap boxes generally will not fit a hexagon bar well.

How it compares with other novelty soap molds

A smaller single hexagon bee mold from a different brand offers a similar honeycomb texture in a more compact format, useful for makers who want to test the shape before committing to a two-tray set like this one. Flower or animal shaped novelty molds, such as peony or orchid designs, appeal to a different aesthetic than the honeycomb bee theme here and suit soap lines built around floral rather than honey branding. An eight cavity novelty mold with cat or rabbit shapes serves a similarly playful niche market but targets a different customer than a honey and beeswax themed soap line built around this hexagon design.

Verdict

This Sakolla two pack honeycomb mold is a solid pick for a soap maker committed to a honey or beeswax themed product line, delivering a dozen clearly defined hexagon bee bars per pour in food grade, easy release silicone. The wide temperature tolerance and dishwasher safe design make it convenient to clean and reuse across many batches, and having two trays gives useful volume for a themed gift set or market run. The textured surface needs an alcohol spritz to avoid trapped bubbles, and the hexagon shape is a real packaging consideration since standard rectangular boxes will not fit these bars. Makers who are not building specifically around a honey theme should look at a more general purpose or rectangular mold instead.
