Do you still need some useful and sustainable presents for Christmas? How about making your own lip balm or alternatives to clingfilm and tinfoil?
In this online course, the apiary association “Bienen im Olymp” will explain, step by step, how to produce your own lip balm, beeswax wraps (for wrapping up sandwiches, etc.) and a beeswax candle in no time at all. While all participants are busy stirring, heating up and mixing, the beekeepers will be happy to answer any questions to do with bees & beekeeping. At the end of the course, you and all the other participants will each have 6 lip balms as well as candles and a beeswax wrap, which your friends and acquaintances would surely be happy to get!
 
PLEASE NOTE: The course is going to take place online. All participants registered for the event will have to pick up most of the cosmetics material beforehand, on two days (23. or 29.11. from 7:00 p.m.) in the Olympiadorf (Helene-Mayer-Ring).
 
Everyone participating will require a worktop, a cooker, an iron, a clothes-peg, a small brush, a kebab stick or other small wooden stick as well as a piece of cloth (cotton or linen; approx. 35 x 35 cm; cloth as thin as possible).
 
If you would like to, you can also buy yourself an essential oil (suitable for using in cosmetics, e.g. Primavera, available in health food stores). Peppermint, rose, orange or lavender – whatever you prefer! The essential oil is, however, not strictly necessary.

The course will take place in German.
