Katie Alvarez is a local beekeeper and Owner of Appalachian Wax Works LLC.  Her passion is creating quality, hand crafted goods from the hives she manages in Western Maryland.  

The purest and most natural ingredients are combined with beeswax, honey, pollen and propolis to give users the benefits of these amazing and renewable hive products. 

There are many gifts the hive has to offer in return for living in harmony with the bees.  Honey, wax, pollen and propolis contain antibacterial, antiviral, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which make them ideal in skincare and home products.

Help support your local bees by buying natural healthful bee products and spreading the good word about bees and pollinators to neighbors and friends alike.
