"For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough to be it" -Amanda Gorman, National Youth Poet Laureate... We are celebrating some BRIGHT changes this week by playing with our newly acquired wax melter We use this machine to melt down the beeswax cappings that we remove during the honey extraction process. From there we can turn rendered beeswax into votive candles and 100% beeswax bars for all your home crafting needs! There'll be a fresh stock of candles and 1oz bars up for grabs this weekend - come say hi at The Honeybee Embassy on Friday 12-5 and Saturday 10-4, or at the winter Ithaca Farmers Market from 10:30-2 on Saturday. Grab some honey for sweetness and a candle for light and savor the gifts from the bees! Beeswax is a truly magical substance - it is made by young worker bees and secreted thru "scales" or glands on their abdomens. Beeswax candles burn longer, brighter, and cleaner than other types of wax like paraffin. Beeswax can also be used to make soaps, salves, and much more. Plus, it smells incredible!

Hello hello -- the Embassy is open today (noon to 5) and tomorrow (10 to 4)! Need some sweet support in turbulent times? We may have just the thing. . .

Hey friends -- how acute is your social-distancing fatigue? Could you smooth some sharp corners in your soul (while continuing this marathon of safe behavior) by allowing some delicious raw honey to slowly dissolve on your tongue, closing your eyes to imagine warm sunshine on a summer meadow and the gentle buzzing of the insect world feasting among the flowers? Maybe you could find warmth and support in a cup of tea, or delicious golden milk? Or maybe you're feeling an impu...lse to keep reaching out, even though official gift-giving season has passed? Whether you visit on-line or come see us at the Honeybee Embassy Friday or Saturday . . . or at the first Ithaca Farmers Market of the year this Saturday from 10:30 to 2, you will find us well stocked with our many varietal and infused raw honeys and a growing array of warming beverages as well as an exciting line-up of gift sets to send to someone you love.
