Beeswax is a wonderful wax produced by honey bees and is one of the most interesting products produced by nature. You will love the colour and the beautiful natural scent of beeswax. Although it may resemble other waxes, beeswax is entirely different in its chemistry and molecular characteristics. Beeswax has great value as a candle wax and burns very slowly. Beeswax is also very stable and subject to deterioration by very few solvents.
Beeswax is produced by worker bees after consuming nectar from flowers – the same source as honey. Beeswax is therefore a further elaboration of honey itself! In this way beeswax is directly linked to the natural environment. You will be contributing to the natural environment by using this wax because you will be supporting beekeeping. Bees and beekeeping are important to us humans as bees pollinate one third of the food that we eat!
In this course I show you how to use this amazing natural product, beeswax to make your own candles. You can use these candles in your own home or give them as gifts to friends and family. You can also start your own small business making and selling beautiful beeswax candles. You don’t need to be a beekeeper – you just need a source of beeswax. The course will also direct you to sources of beeswax.
Everyone needs a side hustle these days and beeswax candles could be yours! If you enjoy working with your hands you will enjoy making candles.
The course will take you through beeswax – where it comes from and its properties. The course will show you the different ways to render wax from honeycombs. The course will teach you how to filter beeswax so that your wax is clean.
