smells, you’ll learn from apiarist and entrepreneur Petra Ahnert, who will
teach you how to transform this miraculous material into the beautiful, useful,
and unexpected.

An introduction to
beeswax’s form and functions.

Detailed recipes to get
you started crafting your own soaps, balms, salves, and more.
