Beeswax Ornament Making Workshop with Virginia Webb ~ Limited to 20 participants per session, $5 materials fee per person
Part of embracing beekeeping is learning to utilize the many products our bees provide: honey, pollen, propolis, and beeswax. Each of these products has unique benefits, and together, they enrich our lives. Beeswax, in particular, has a variety of uses dating back to ancient times.
This workshop focuses on creating beeswax ornaments created using molds. Each participant will take home their ornament made in the workshop.
Be advised that there is a $5 fee to attend and the seating is limited to 2 people per session.
Conference registration is required for this special session. Please be sure to complete conference registration first.
This event is just for local club presidents, or their vice presidents if the president can't attend.
The GBA Presidents Breakfast is a great opportunity for local club presidents and vice presidents to meet with regional directors and GBA officers to share insights and ideas for how GBA can help you as club leaders.
We will have a full, hot catered breakfast, so skip the hotel breakfast bar and come hungry!
