Making Products of the Hive

  • Montgomery Hall St. Mary's College of Maryland (map)

In this class we teach you how to take raw honey, wax, and propolis from your beehives and other natural oils and turn them into products you can use. It's not just candle making anymore. Some products improve health and wellness for your family or you can sell as part of your business plan. You don't even have to own bees to be able to make these items, but sourcing your raw materials is easier, free and fun as a Beekeeper. This is a hands on class where we will show you the tools and skills needed to make your own healing salves, lip balms, body butter moisturizers and more.

Diane Wellons - Deez L’Town Beez

After battling Lyme disease for years and undergoing extensive treatments, Diane turned to natural healing and discovered the benefits of local honey. Her journey toward wellness sparked a deep passion for beekeeping, not only as a personal healing tool but also as a way to support her rural community and local ecology. What began with three colonies has grown into a thriving business, with up to 50 hives during peak season. Diane finds peace, purpose, and healing in caring for bees, and believes they have helped ease her Lyme symptoms. She now shares her love for beekeeping with others, hoping to make a difference—one hive at a time.
