As a former part-time school teacher, I have a passion for learning and for teaching. We have a smlll farm and although none of our 7 grandchildren have yet been interested in working the honeybee hives, they do love petting all the other animals we’ve got.
My husband and I have been working bees for about 15 years. Although my husband is the main beekeeper, I do help work the hives, have attended beekeeping courses and have the hands-on experience. Two years ago, I attended the Eastern Apicultural Society’s Bee Conference, where I began my Apitherapy journey. Since then, I have attended more Apitherapy conferences and have become passionate about how all the products from the hive can benefit us in health and healing ways. From pollen, honey, and propolis to royal jelly and drone brood homogenate – the bees can help keep not only their own hives healthy but share their products with us so we might also gain some health benefits.

From making tinctures, to bee sting therapy, to collecting recipes for healing, I’m passionate about it all! My goal is to learn enough about Apitherapy to help relieve pain that people may be suffering from and to do that in an easy, natural way.

As a beekeeping community, we are able to have multiple medicine cabinets in our own backyards!
