From the hive to your hands, craft artisanal candles made from beeswax
An update from your host: Please take note that in the month of December 2025, we will be shifting many of our workshops from Siglap to our new location at Old Bukit Timah Fire Station. And by February 2026, we will permanently shift almost all our workshops there. Address is 260 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, Singapore 588190.Meet our bees and make organic candles!​Yes, there are many candle-making workshops in Singapore, but most happen within 4 walls, and where's the fun in that?​​At this value-added workshop, you will get the chance to meet our bees and learn how they make beeswax -- from their abdomen! Then, we will melt down some real honeycomb from the apiary and process it to make beeswax. From there, we will hand-make artisanal candles with added botanicals from the garden. They make a great gift, or simply a chill time spent connecting with nature. If there ever was a naturalistic farm-to-table workshop, this is it! Why This Experience Matters: Saving Singapore’s BeesBee-lieve it or not, without bees, there would be no human race. 90% of the world’s nutrition comes from crops pollinated by bees, but wild bee populations have declined by over 90% since the 1960s. In Singapore, rapid urbanisation is wiping out habitats, and most people still call pest control instead of rescuing bees.That’s why this experience isn’t just about beeswax and candles—it’s helping to save Singapore’s bees. The rooftop is home to rescued bees that would have otherwise been exterminated. Every ticket helps fund local bee rescues, supporting efforts to relocate bee colonies safely instead of wiping them out.Your host has already saved over 5 million bees, working with local councils to change policies on bee extermination. And now, you get to be part of the movement—by learning, tasting, and supporting bee conservation in the most fun way possible.​​​​​​​What to Expect: Suit up and get up close with native honeybees to learn how they make beeswaxMelt down real honeycomb to create beeswaxLearn real candle-making techniques to make organic candles from beeswax
