Honey Bee Class- A Bit About the Bees and Crafting with Wax

The industrious Apis Mellifera (The Honey Bee) provides humankind with much more than honey!  Let’s celebrate spring together by engaging all of our senses while learning about the honey bee.

This session starts with an overview of honeybees and beekeeping throughout the 4 seasons of our beloved South Coast. Then we will get buzzy dabbling with wax crafts such as rolled beeswax candles and bee wraps. Lastly, bee students will be able to sample some of our local honey.

Our instructors David and Gina of Studio Big Rock have been keeping bees locally for over 20 years and will be eager to share with you this fascinating hobby.

This class is appropriate for anyone who wants to learn more about bees, as well as those who may be interested in becoming beekeepers themselves one day.

Students will leave with a deeper understanding of bees and beekeeping as well as their own handcrafted beeswax candles and food wraps.
