As life in the animal kingdom continues we could learn a little about home isolation from bees.
If the Queen bee is an angry bee, the other bees in the hive emulate her personality and temperament. If the queen is nice, the hive should be gentle. If she is nasty the hive will turn nasty.
So stay calm mums, dad's and carers! This is the ideal time to teach the kids (and maybe yourself) how to manage home time. Learn how to cook or grow some food, fix stuff, clean, dance, play, sing, take turns listening to your favourite music, paint, learn about the stars, discover, read - we can learn just about anything through a book or google. Look how much there is to do!
Love, respect and reconnect - keep your body and mind healthy, know that this will pass and that your family will be stronger for it.

Introducing...
FASCINATING BEE FACTS 🐝🤓

The dynamic operations of a bee colony are so fascinating to us, even as stewards who work with these beautiful creatures day-to-day.
We are constantly enthralled by their wonder, their resilience and by the undeniable reliance that a large part of our entire ecosystem depends on these animals remaining healthy and happy.

There are plenty of local bee keepers around who are selling their honey in random places who would appreciate your support - it's a win-win...

The owners of Capilano Honey ‘Hive and Wellness’ Have just announced their new plan to import honey from South America. This product will be sold as a blended product, Australian and imported honey.

It was not long ago that this company promise to never import honey into Australia. This is just another example of profit over people.

This shouldn’t be happening here is Australia. It puts beekeepers in a vulnerable position and places their product into second place, below the price competitive South American Honey. Be careful when buying honey from major retailers, support local honey packers like , or local producers like or , and

Farmers are under pressure right now and if you value fresh, organic food you won't mind paying that little bit extra whenever you can.
I would just like to add that when you're eating an organic, whole foods diet and feeding your body the correct nutrition and nourishment it needs without pesticide interference, that your body becomes more satisfied and will require less food, in particular processed/junk food which, in turn, means you may actually save money (this includes savings on medical treatment including pharmaceuticals). Just some food for thought ☺️👏🍉🥑

Food isn't 'affordable' if it drives farmers out of business If food is 'affordable' for the customer, it is far below affordable for the farmer.

In my experience working with clients, sometimes there's that one element that they're lacking that will get them to their target or goal (I'm referring to health goals, of course), and that's PATIENCE.
We don't like going without- We want that perpetual reward - And we want it every day!
Usually it's desired in the form of sugar or junk food or just too much food, and sometimes it's coffee or alcohol - whatever it is that a person needs to eliminate from their diet in order to achieve improved health.
It's not easy, but it becomes more reachable when you have patience on your side...😇

​Today’s world is so different to the world our parents and grandparents lived in. They didn’t have the problems we’re facing today and to survive we have to make ourselves aware of what is driving the ever increasing illness and disease all around us.

🌸🍊PINK SALT & CITRUS BODY SCRUB 🍋🌸for dry post-winter skin ...
Whip yourself up a tub of exfoliating body scrub with ingredients that you already have in the kitchen & save yourself some $$'s!!
• 1 cup fine Himalayan Salt
• 1/2 cup organic Olive Oil
• 10-12 drops of Essential Oil
Blend ingredients together in a clean, dry jar.
After showering and while skin is still damp (best to stay in the shower) scrub arms and legs all over avoiding any wounds or scratches, then rinse off thoroughly.
Your skin will feel smooth & scale-free.
Finish off with your own moisturiser if needed.
⚠️ The oil might make the floor of the shower slippery so tread carefully & be sure to rinse the floor thoroughly when finished. It’s always a good idea to patch test first to ensure that you don’t react and only use skin-safe oils (I’m not a qualified aromatherapist).

Alternatives:- White or brown sugar can be used instead of salt;
Apricot, almond or grapeseed oils can be used instead of olive oil.
