Beekeeping & Beeswax Candles

Ever wonder what it's really like inside a buzzing beehive? Join Justin Orders, professional beekeeper and owner of Queen's Orders Honey, for an engaging class that explores the importance of bees, with a focus on honeybees. You'll learn honeybee biology, the inner workings of a beehive, and what it takes to start your own beekeeping journey. Then you'll get hands-on and make your own beeswax candle using real hive-harvested wax — seeing firsthand one of the many rewards these incredible pollinators provide. You'll also enjoy a honey tasting before heading home with your handmade candle and a whole new appreciation for the hive.

Please bring your preferred method of note taking.

Anyone curious about bees, beekeeping, or just looking for a unique hands-on experience. Whether you've been thinking about starting a hive, want to learn more about where honey actually comes from, or just love the idea of making your own beeswax candle, this class is for you.
