The National Honey Show

Last month I spent a happy couple of days at the National Honey Show. They always have an amazing display of different types of honey, honey and wax products, stalls and lectures.

I was lucky enough to attend 2 workshops. One on candle making with Ceila and David Rudland of East Surrey Bees, where I found out where I had been going wrong with my candle making…. I had been too impatient. I am really pleased with the wax that I have just filtered. I have also got some new candle moulds to add to the collection.

I also attended a workshop by Dr Paul Vagg of BeeNaturals on making Natural Beeswax Polish. This was really fun and something that I am now trying at home. I have made my first batch and it is now out with testers for feedback. 

The National Honey Show will be back again next year on 27-29 October at Sandown Park. Well worth a visit.
