We would like to teach people to make their own dipped beeswax candles (from our hives). We'll show part of a hive / comb (no bees!), chat about beekeeping and possibly allow a bit of honey tasting. Then after a demonstration you will get a length of wick and be able to dip it into the molten wax and make your own candle. For each participant it'll take around 5 minutes - but it's also quite fun to watch other people. (We may ask some participants to come back later to stagger the start times, so they aren't waiting around.) Everyone will get to go home with their own candle that they've made & hopefully a bit more knowledge about bees and beekeeping!

Attending this workshop will cost nil
