Bee ready

Our new project...The BEEginners kit to raising honey bees. It arrived this week and I'm sooo excited!!
You might bee asking why?
Reasons Why:

1. We want to know where the honey comes from.
2. We want the most organic source.
3. Another step towards being less reliant on "big business".
4. Health benefits
5. Eventually cost savings (not in the 1st year)
6. Improving our garden
7. Being able to make chapstick, candles and other household products.

Here's some things you might not have read before, but very interesting.

Have you ever wondered why honey rarely spoils or molds?

The reason is because honey has potent antiseptic and antibacterial qualities which produce the following incredible results.

Research shows that honey improves:

• chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, sinus problems, and allergies.
  Honey has been used to combat depression, fatigue, insomnia, nervous disorders, urine retention, cramps, headaches, and high blood pressure.
  Honey soothes and beautifies the skin plus clears many skin disorders.
  Honey hastens the healing of wounds - especially burns.
  Honey aids the digestion and assimilation of other foods.
  Honey has sedative, antitoxic, laxative, and antiseptic effects.
  Honey is effective in countering anemia.
  Honey is the only food that doesn't spoil. Archaeologists found honey in the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. It was taste tested and found to be edible. Now, that's a long shelf life!

Well, that should give you a little insight to why we want to do this~keep us in your prayers! :)
