Story

We started out with a dream to keep bees and a great friend gave us the tools to do just that. We started with one single hive and have grown to 5 hives. It doesn't seem like a whole lot of growth, but for us, small is better...we only have what we can handle :0) We maintain the health and happiness of our hives by natural means and never introduce unnatural weirdness into our hives via feed or medication or for any reason for that matter. That does not mean we do not feed our bees in the fall or whenever they need it and that also does not mean we don't medicate our hives if they catch a cold...it just means we use natural methods; feeding them sugar syrup or honey they produced the season before and treating them with essential oils and other preventative methods that benefit both the bees and us when they are ill.

Our love of bees and all things natural brought us to realize the amazing health benefits of honey and other hive products both internally and on the surface of our skin which in turn led us to learn the different medicinal properties of the herbs and flowers our bees were foraging upon.

One of our children developed a terrible bout of eczema that would just not go away and we tried a number of over the counter and prescription steroid creams that just plain old did not work, remembering my back ground in esthetics and all my new-found knowledge in herbal healing, I bought a few organic butters and oils and began my formulating. Four years later not one person in our household has had an outbreak of any kind of skin malady other than the occasional bee sting or yellow jacket zap...which we have creams for too :0)

We hope you enjoy our goodies as much as we have enjoyed our journey in bringing them to you!
