Welcome to Bowral Bee Company's beeswax candle making workshop. Held in the cosy heated main house which is owned by the National Trust of NSW and found at the historic Golden Vale Homestead, this class is a quintessential Bowral experience.
In the workshops, we will talk about how beeswax is made by the littlest of insects and how it is harvested to be used to make all sorts of products we use in our daily lives. We will then go through the process of making the candles. All candles made can be taken home after the workshops, a little gift from us to you from your experience at one of our workshops.
You will have the opportunity to hand paint and decorate your creations. You will also be able to select your own scents if you wish, as well as what kind of candles you wish to make from a variety of beeswax we have on offer.
We will provide refreshments and treats. There will also be warm mead available to try.
Golden Vale Homestead is also a working farm. There are a variety of animals on the property as well as farming equipment. Please stay in the area where we will have our workshops as the cows and horses are moved frequently and we cannot guarantee your safety. If you'd like to see the cows or horses, please ask us prior so we can take you down to see them. Children will have to be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children aged 13 to 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Toileting facilities are available.

Bowral Bee Company was created to produce products we use every day to keep us sanitary and clean. We have a wealth of products we manufacture from the byproducts the bees produce in their colonies. The Honey and Beeswax is extracted to produce lip balms, lip scrubs, hand moisturisers, Body moisturisers, bath salts, serums, soap, candles and many more items in our store. We have over 140 different products. In the early days Bowral Bee Company donated 80% of the honey produced to wildlife refuges for the care of sick and injured animals. We still continue this tradition.
Today we are known as Bowral Bee Company Pty Ltd and own two apiaries called Bowral Bee Honey and Bowral Bee Nectar. We also do crop pollination services through our company Bowral Bee Company Pollination Services.
Bowral Bee Company attend Schools and RAS NSW farm days to educate children about the importance of bees in our environment as well as how food is produced through the process of pollination by honey bees.
