About the Author
Petra Ahnert is the creative force behind Beehive Alchemy, a growing artisan soap, body care, and home goods business. After a serendipitous meeting with a beekeeper at the library in 2002, Petra soon had a couple hives of her own and extra honey to sell. Of course, bees produce more than just honey - they also make beeswax and collect propolis. All of these things served as inspiration for products Petra makes; from moisturizing lip balm to waxed fabric sandwich wraps. Many of these products have made their way into the product line-up for Beehive Alchemy.
