Honeybee 101 - Beeswax Creations: Christmas Gift Candle Making
About this Event
An Evening of Beeswax 🐝🕯️
Good company, a little learning, something delicious to sip and snack on, and a whole lot of creativity!
Ever wondered how a honeybee makes beeswax? Or how we turn this incredible natural material into the beautiful candles you love?
Join us at Honeybee Centre for a special evening celebrating all things beeswax!
Settle in with a glass of wine or a cup of tea, enjoy seasonal charcuterie and join Beekeppers Cassie and Genevieve for an entertaining introduction to the fascinating world of beeswax and beekeeping.
With decades of hands-on beekeeping experience between them, they'll share the stories, secrets and surprising little details that make beeswax so special. From how honeybees produce it to how we harvest and transform it at Honeybee Centre, you'll get a peek into the world of beekeeping that you don't find in a textbook!
Then, it's your turn to get creative!
Choose from our huge collection of candle molds and enjoy the hands-on experience of pouring your own pure beeswax candles. You'll create two small candles and one medium candle to take home, each with its own special vibe.
Whether you're a longtime lover of beeswax, curious about beekeeping or simply looking for a fun and different evening out, this is a sweet little experience worth making time for.
