The Big E starts tomorrow!

Beg E seller spotlight:
Did you know some of our members sell additional products at our Massachusetts Building booth? Over the next few days we will feature a seller here!

First up is Jeff Rys. He has been keeping bees his whole life; a skill he learned from his dad. He sells handmade beeswax candles and propolis.

Beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than other types of wax. Propolis is made by the bees and has antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties.
