Happy World Bee Day 💛 Our bees are so important to our environment and producing many of the foods we love with their pollination! Unfortunately climate change, harsh chemicals and pesticides are very dangerous to the bees. We have to care for our environment and protect our bees 🐝🌎

Happy Earth Day 🌎🐝 Our bees are happy that warmer days are finally here! Also, don't forget to work on your bee friendly gardens for our little friends.

Today we spent the day checking up on the bees and clearing away the snow after yesterday's big storm ☃️

As the warmer months get closer and closer it is common to find beehive swarms. We recently had a neighbor call us when they found one in their backyard.. see how Fernando was able to catch this big one! 🐝

This week we have another at home beauty recipe for you! This one is very simple and can be adjusted to fit your skin needs, you will need: 🍯 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar 🍯 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon 🍯 honey (until you create a paste) Tip: if you have sensitive skin try this without the brown sugar.

SELF CARE SUNDAY 🙌✨ Is your skin not feeling its best.. maybe dull, dehydrated, or tired? There is a simple two ingredient face mask to make your skin feel fresh, hydrated, and nourished! The two stars of this face mask are raw honey and aloe vera. Raw honey is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and can provide the face with soothing and healing ingredients. Aloe vera provides the face with moisture, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This face mask is simple to make, follow the steps below: - 1 tablespoons of raw honey - 3 tablespoons of aloe vera Combine the two ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a blender or hand whisk until you have a smooth gel. Let refrigerate for 10 minutes. Apply to a clean face for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Use this mask twice a week to minimize the look of wrinkles, and reduce redness or sunburn on the face. Try this out on your next self care day and let us know your thoughts!
