Beeswax - the Candles Project - the Archive

Bees produce beeswax to build their combs. The raw material is nectar. When there is a nectar flow, a sea of waves of white honeycombs will be formed overnight. The transformation from short-lived to long-lived has taken place. My bees build their own combs, so I can collect pieces of wax and melt them. Small wax blocks are hard like stone. Each block of wax has a different color and a fine scent. The beeswax is used for making candles (that are not for sale). The candles are part of my candles-collection. My archive.

Each candle weighs 250 grams. That's the amount of wax I harvest per hive per year. So for me, one candle represents the existence/memory of one hive each year. So far, there are about 270 candles of the past 20 years.

Workshops

Offering an experience about honey

Good honey reflects the landscape, it functions almost like a record of place and time. A spoonful of good honey offers a profound experience of the "terroir" - the character of a particular environment. It conveys a deep understanding of a landscape shaped by the seasons - far more than just taste.

For groups of max 10 people,

20,00 EURO each.
