In this workshop Ang will teach participants how to render beeswax from the hexagons within the hive into clean golden disks for candle and medicine making. Then together we'll use rendered beeswax to make hand dipped beeswax candles together.

Ang Roell (they/them) resides in the Connecticut River watershed, where they co-operate They Keep Bees. They Keep Bees raises Varroa resistant queen bees, leads climate adaptive research, facilitates skill shares and builds collaborative networks. They Keep Bees is a migratory beekeeping operation co-located in MA & NC.
