Bienenwachs Werkstatt

Petra Ahlert, beekeeper and owner of the company Beeswax Alchemy, guides readers step by step through the fascinating world of beeswax in this book. Honeybees produce the wax for building honeycombs and raising their young. In this book, she demonstrates what crafters can create from beeswax themselves – from lip balm to candles to coated fabric. It begins with an introduction to the origin, history, and uses of beeswax. Following that, there are tips and techniques for processing beeswax into useful everyday products. Finally, in the extensive recipe section, readers will find step-by-step instructions and recipes for making soap, salves, lotions, and much more.
