Beekeeper experience & Beeswax hands on workshop

Season start / May & July - August 

This is more digging more deeper honeybees world in half day. We visit SEO bee farm first, to know about beekeeper and honeybees. After that, we experiment to extract beeswax and making beeswax candles. Beeswax might be getting more focus on as ECO-friendly material, such as beeswax food wraps instead of plastic wraps recently.

Europe countries has thousands of history of honeybees. Especially, Beeswax has been known as important material in their daily life such as for using lighting candles, treatment for burning injuries, or mummy coating from BC centuries. We have a lots of things to learn and how to enjoy beeswax, from ancient people.
