Suncoast Beekeepers Association upcoming events

SBA Monthly Meeting - Beeswax (Wednesday, May 27, 2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Join us for an engaging and hands-on beekeeper meeting all about beeswax! Board members will demonstrate ways to render beeswax from your hives, sharing practical tips and techniques for producing clean, usable wax. We’ll also explore the many creative and useful things you can make with beeswax, from candles and balms to household products.

This will be an interactive “show and tell” meeting—members are encouraged to bring along tools, equipment, or finished products they use in their own wax processing to share with the group. Whether it’s a favorite setup, a homemade solution, or something you’ve created, your experience can help others learn.
