At @redhillcandleco, it’s more than just candle At @redhillcandleco, it’s more than just candle making - it’s a full sensory experience. Ever wondered why sensory activities are so powerful for your wellbeing? When you engage in sensory play - touch, smell, and even hearing - you encourage neuroplasticity, which helps your brain compensate for declining senses as you age and when you’re doing it in a fun, relaxed environment, the benefits double :)) Their most popular experience invites you to dive into the world of candle-making, where you not only learn about the craft but also get to create and take home two of your very own hand-poured candles. Whether it’s the warmth of the wax, the calming scents filling the air, or the simple pleasure of crafting something from scratch, it’s an hour and a half well-spent for both your senses and your soul. Held mainly on weekends, it’s the perfect activity to treat yourself or share with friends :)

Why does it matter to support Local Bees and Honey Why does it matter to support Local Bees and Honey?Supporting local beekeepers and consuming local honey not only benefits your health but also ensures the survival of these crucial pollinators. In doing so, we protect our food supply, sustain biodiversity, and promote a healthier environment for future generations, not to forget it aide’s allergy relief, and adds nutritional benefits to our diets. Bees are incredibly efficient at what they do. To make approximately a 500g jar of honey, it can take the efforts of over 2 million flower visits and thousands of bees. Each bee only produces about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime, highlighting the immense collective effort required to fill even a single jar. The entire process, from nectar collection to finished honey, can vary. It typically takes about 3 to 4 weeks to produce honey from the time the nectar is collected. However, the timing can be influenced by factors such as the availability of nectar, weather conditions, and the health of the bee colony. It’s not just on the Mornington Peninsula - it’s everywhere you live cities, suburbs, and rural communities. Please Support Local. Champion your local businesses like you do the faceless brands that convince you they’re essential to your life. Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities, fuelling creativity and diversity. Big corporations dominate, and that’s not a good thing. The true strength of our communities comes from the choices we make. If we don’t support local – like @purepeninsulahoney - we risk losing the essence of what makes our cities, suburbs and regions thrive.#bees #honey #farmgate #lovethepen
