Bees Wax Wraps

Thanks Sue & Haley for teaching us about bees, honey and how to make bees wax wraps. It was interesting, tasty and fun to do.

There are three different size bees , that each have a special job to do.

Where pollen comes from can change the taste of the honey.

Natural oil, natural resin & bees wax hot dipping mix.

On the airier it goes, then ready to wrap your lunch.
