DIY bee product workshop

Check out this AMAZING partnership with The Light Cellar, ABC, and Apple Tree!

Are you interested in learning how to make your own body products with natural ingredients? Maybe with the honey and wax from the beehive in your ownbackyard? Learning how to make our own body products gives us feelings of satisfaction and comfort. By making your own body products you become aware of what ingredients are being used, you support the local economy by purchasing ingredients from local stores, you often reuse containers, and it is even easier tailor the product to best suit your needs. A.B.C- Apiaries and Bees for Communities and the The Light Cellar are pleased to team up with Sara Haney, owner of Apple Tree Sustainables. Sara is passionate about making safe body and cleaning products that can be made in your kitchen with a few simple ingredients. Her knowledge of herbs, wild crafting, essential oils and infusions, alongside her degrees in biology, education, and permaculture, provide a breadth of knowledge for you to make your own safe body products at home.

You will also make one of the recipes yourself in the workshop to take home with you.
