We have all heard that honey is great for that sore throat or a bad cold but it doesn’t end there. Honey has been shown to have many healing properties including wound care, burn treatment, immune boosting properties and much more. 

Honey isn’t the only product that comes from the hive that has the ability to help our bodies heal. Have you heard of Royal jelly, propolis and bee pollen? all of these products have some pretty amazing health benefits that deserve some serious attention. 

Come spend the afternoon with me exploring all that the hive has to offer (which is a lot) I have seen some pretty amazing result with using hive products in my day to day life and am passionate about sharing this knowledge with others. During the class we will explore - How these bee products are produced/collected by the bees, how they are harvested and how we can use them in our daily lives.  

It’s going to be a seriously great afternoon of learning!
