Process your beeswax  from your hive and turn it into a beautiful candle in this 3 hour workshop

<p>Join gifted teacher Diana Mei at her homestead in El Sobrante to learn how to process raw wax into candles. After harvesting honey, beekeepers are left with messy buckets full off uncapping sand honey. This class will take beekeepers and non-beekeepers through the processing process, using best practices. Once the wax is cleaned, candle-making will commence, using silicon molds and natural wicking. If you are a beekeeper, feel free to bring your unprocessed wax. </p>
