Beeswax has been valued by humans for thousands of years, from ancient medicines and cosmetics to the timeless art of candle-making. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the remarkable story of beeswax and discover how this natural material is created inside the hive.

Guided by an experienced beekeeper, participants will learn the traditional technique of hand-dipping beeswax candles and create their own pair of beautiful 100% beeswax candles to take home. Along the way, they will uncover fascinating facts about honey bees, the production of beeswax, and the many ways this versatile substance has been used throughout history.

Combining creativity, craftsmanship, and environmental learning, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to experience one of the hive's most treasured products firsthand.
