![]() While I love my beeswax candles and have many healthy uses for honey, the importance of the honey bee goes well beyond what they produce directly. Many of the foods we eat rely to some degree on the honey bee for pollination. Why the Honey Bee Matters So MuchFor crops like strawberries, honey bees increase the number and size of the berries, while other crops like almonds rely 100% on honey bee pollination. If the honey bee population declines, many crops will suffer. No honey bees, no almond butter. High bee losses last year (42% of colonies died from April 2014 to April 2015) have lead many to ask what they can do to help. Here are a few steps that each of us can take to do our part and help keep the honey bee population strong. Feed The BeesWith the quest for a greener, weed-free lawn and pretty, longer lasting flowers, we have depleted many food sources for the honey bee. Not only have many homeowners eliminated dandelions (a great early spring pollen source which helps boost brood rearing and natural superfood) and clover, many trees and flowers sold today have been modified. These modifications may increase their beauty, but to the detriment of their nectar production and therefore their benefit to the honey bee. Flowers Are GoodThere are many beautiful flowers that provide bees with the pollen and nectar they need, such as Sunflowers, Asters, Black-eyed Susans, Purple Coneflower, Horsemint, Blue Giant Hyssop, Hyacinth, Borage, Crocus, Zinnias, Asters, just to name a few. To find a list of flowers, as well as trees and shrubs, that are best suited for honey bees and other pollinators in your area check out the free planting guide available at Pollinator.org Your local greenhouse is another great place to visit and ask about planting for honey bees. During one of my visits to a greenhouse this spring I noticed an entire section of flowers and shrubs dedicated to attracting pollinators. Trees Are Even BetterWhile many of us think of planting flowers for bees, what many people don’t realize is that in most areas the honey bee’s primary source of nectar is from flowering trees. However, all flowering trees are not created equal. For example, the very popular Bradford Pear, with all its many flowers, is a very poor nectar source for bees. There are many great landscaping trees that the bees love such as Tulip Poplar, Maple, Redbud, Cherry, Crab Apple, and Holly. Choosing one of these beneficial landscaping trees is one of the best ways to feed the bees in your area. Things To AvoidWhile bees are not “pests,” most “pesticides” do not discriminate. Even organic pest controls can have a negative impact on bees and therefore it is important to keep honey bees and other beneficial pollinators in mind before using any pest treatments. If pest control must be used:
It is also important to make sure to avoid buying plants that have been treated with neonicotinoids. “Neonics” as they are sometimes referred to, are a type of pesticide that becomes part of the plant and actually turns the plant itself into the pesticide which includes its pollen and nectar. Neonics have become widely used in U.S. agriculture and many believe that it could be one of the factors contributing to increased bee losses. Plants that have been treated with neonics (which is done through the application of a seed coating) should be clearly marked and easily avoided if you are keeping an eye out when making your plant selections. Support BeekeepersOne of the best ways to support bees is to support those who have a passion for bees, the beekeeper. (Side note, my oldest son has recently become fascinated by bees and beekeeping and now has his own hive that he cares for weekly.) Buy Local HoneyNot only do beekeepers face increased bee losses from the Verroa destructor (a fitting name for a harmful invasive bee mite), increased pesticide use, and disease, they also have to compete with imported and often adulterated honey sold at bargain prices in supermarkets. Buying your honey from a local beekeeper who you can get to know and trust will not only go a long way toward supporting a healthy bee population, it will also ensure you get good, quality honey. Buy Bees WaxMany beekeepers also sell beeswax that they gather and refine from the cappings they remove during honey extraction. I use beeswax for lotion bars, homemade lip balm and for beeswax candles. Buy Local Organic ProduceBuying organic food is not only good for you, but it is good for the honey bees. The more organic food that is purchased, the higher the demand will be. As the demand for organic food goes up, pesticide use will go down. Less pesticide use creates a safer environment for the honey bee. Support Beekeeping OrdinancesWhile beekeeping is growing in popularity, not all areas allow keeping bees within the city limits. You can support beekeepers by becoming informed about the ordinances where you live and supporting movements to allow backyard beekeeping in your community. Report SwarmsAnother way to help the bees and beekeepers alike is to keep your eye out for swarms. Honey bees propagate by sending out swarms containing their old queen and about half the bees in the hive, meaning thousands of bees. If you have ever seen a swarm in motion it can be one of the most intimidating and at the same time thrilling things you will ever experience. After leaving the hive the bees will settle in a large cluster of solid bees anywhere from the size of a soft ball to the size of a volleyball. The intimidating nature of this enormous number of bees has sadly lead to many cases of homeowners panicking and spraying the harmless cluster of bees with any number of deadly sprays. While these swarms can be intimidating, swarming bees are actually at their most docile because they do not have a hive to defend and have filled their bellies with honey for the long journey to establish a new home site. If you spot a swarm, call a beekeeper and they will come (or pass word to another beekeeper) and safely remove the bees and add them to their apiary. If you don’t know any local beekeepers, check the label on the last jar of local honey you purchased and give that beekeeper a call. If you still can’t contact a beekeeper, a quick post on social media will likely reveal a beekeeping connection you didn’t even know you had. Change Your Thinking On BeesSeveral years ago I decided we needed more bees for our garden and began the process of starting a hive. When I set up my bee hive I got them in place and carefully opened the entrance. When a few bees came out I jumped back and reacted like they were out to get me. I had to laugh at myself and at this ingrained reaction. Beekeeping became a lesson in “unlearning” what I thought I knew about bees. Unlearn What You “Know” About BeesThe first thing I had to do was really think back throughout my childhood at the different encounters I had with bees and getting stung and I had an epiphany. All my experiences with “bees” were not with honey bees, but with yellow jackets and other wasps. I had to recondition myself to separate honey bees (wonderful, honey making pollinators to whom we owe so much of our food production) from wasps (awful, nasty stinging machines). I now find myself asking people who have a negative story about “bees” if they are actually talking about honey bees or wasps. When you grow in respect for the honey bee and perhaps stop to watch one move from flower to flower, you find yourself thinking about them completely differently. Suddenly, dandelions and clover in the yard look less like weeds to be removed and more like nourishment for a bee colony. A buzzing honey bee becomes something to watch and follow in the yard rather than something to fear. Pass On A Respect For BeesOnce we gain this new respect for honey bees and the ability to distinguish them from wasps we can pass this on to our kids as well. If anything, my kids have too little reservations and I have to remind them not to pick the bees up. Learn MoreTo deepen your knowledge of bees, consider picking up a book on beekeeping, even if you don’t plan on keeping your own bees. I bet you will find them to be even more fascinating than you thought! If you are a nerd like me, you might enjoy a more technical and research heavy book on bees such as The Buzz about Bees: Biology of a Superorganism or Honeybee Democracy. Become A BeekeeperIf you are looking for a more hands on approach to saving the honey bee and want to add some excitement to your life, consider becoming a beekeeper. Keep in mind there are start up costs and a learning curve so it will take commitment, but it is sure to give you a deeper admiration for the honey bee and some amazing experiences. If all goes well you may even get a bit of honey! The key to starting out on the right foot is to start planning early. Begin now by reading about beekeeping and more importantly, by making connections with beekeepers in your area. Ask around, it may surprise you to find out that someone you know keeps bees. Many areas will even have beekeeping associations that meet monthly. This is a great place to make the connections that will become so valuable when you start your first hive. Host A HiveInterested but not ready to take the leap? That’s okay, you can still get up close and hands on with the bees. Not Quite Ready To Be A Beekeeper Yet?Beekeepers have a passion for what they do and many of them would be more than willing to let you tag along for a hive inspection. You will want to make sure that the beekeeper you arrange with has an extra bee suit/veil or you may even consider buying yourself a bee suit. Another option is to bring the bees to you! There are many beekeepers out there that would love to have another location to keep a hive. You could offer to host a hive in your yard or on your land. Keep in mind that this means the beekeeper will be stopping by to inspect the bees as often as weekly in the spring. You should also make sure that you are ready to make the commitment, because while hives can be moved if you change your mind, you can imagine there is some work involved in relocating an active hive. But if you’re up for it, this could be a great way to help the honey bee population and gain firsthand experience that just may become a stepping stone to getting your own hive. Have you considered becoming a beekeeper?

Well, lots of things actually: We need to stop buying unhealthy foods, feeding them too much sugar, and not giving them enough time outside to play. The thing that I’ve noticed in an increasing amount lately that we also really need to stop doing: Letting our Kids be Picky!Yes, I said letting. Yes, I mean letting because we allow them to develop this habit. I’ve been to other countries, I’ve seen kids scarf down olives or snails or even balut (yes, really). Let’s also not forget, as our parents were so keen to remind us, that there are children in the world who would be grateful for any food at all. I certainly heard about the starving children around the world when I wasn’t happy about eating my dinner. Do our kids hear about them? In fact, I actually remember saving my birthday money once to donate to Food for the Poor because I actually felt bad about those starving kids. Was it Guilt?Probably, but it encouraged me to save money for those in need and to eat my freaking brussels sprouts, so I’m grateful for it. Parents in my parents’ generation also had a pretty set in stone menu each night at dinner. They served:
We were never forced to eat, but we most certainly didn’t get to choose what we were having for meals. We were *shockingly* expected to eat what was served. My parents didn’t seem to feel much sympathy for my plight of not liking certain foods. In fact, when I saw this movie in theaters as a kid (yes, I’m that old), this line seemed somewhat familiar: Most of the time, this included vegetables and wasn’t a food that I loved. But I ate it. And I didn’t complain. And now I’m all grown up and not a picky eater at all. You Know What Else?Most of us managed to make it through childhood without starving. We eventually learned to eat foods we didn’t like. We don’t even need therapy for it. Our parents had better things to do than cajole or encourage us to eat foods we didn’t like. They certainly had better things to do than open a 24/7 restaurant devoted to our whims. They also didn’t lose sleep over our food preferences. Have our Kids Gotten Soft?Let’s think about this. As kids, most of us ate vegetables. And meat, or we didn’t eat that meal. We made it to adulthood, and though I could argue it on a few points, most of us are relatively competent adults. Yet, everywhere I go in the US, kids are coddled and catered to. They are asked questions that I certainly never heard and you probably didn’t either. Questions Like:“What would you like for dinner?” “Would you like a snack?” “Do you want the Dora gummy bears or the Minions ones?” They are Told Things Like:“Oh, that’s ok if you don’t like that, we can make something else.” or: “You don’t have to eat your meat and vegetables before having dessert… I’ll get it for you now.” And those aren’t even the worst examples I’ve heard. In fact, at a recent meal at our house where there were 18+ kids, all of the parents served each of their own kids food. (The food was amazing too- steak, grilled veggies, etc.). I told the collective group of kids that there was fruit salad after dinner for everyone who ate their veggies. One kid got upset and started complaining because “But mommy, I want fruit salad right now.” At which point, he was catered to and given fruit salad by his parents without having to eat other food, in front of all the other kids who did have to eat what was served to them. Seriously?This is a small and insignificant example but it violates two social principles that I was taught as a kid:
Somewhere along the line, we started thinking that our kids get input into what they should eat. We forgot an important point: Parents are Responsible for the Nutrition of their ChildrenThis is a relatively simple concept but I don’t see many parents who seem to understand it. Think about this- a toddler (or any age child, really) is not the best judge of what should be eaten. He or she is also not the best judge about when bedtime should be or how often he or she should bathe. That toddler is probably not even an expert at wiping his own bottom yet, but somehow we think we should give him input into his nutrition. When studies increasingly show that the foods a child eats in the first few years of life are vitally important for lifetime health, we think we should outsource that decision to a three year old? Are You Kidding Me?Would we let our kids decide how often they should go to school? Or change their underwear? What about deciding how much TV they should watch, or whether or not getting a pet tiger is a good idea? So why are we letting kids dictate something even more important? Yes, it Might be “Mean”In a child’s eyes to not be given the food they want. It can also seem “mean” to give them boundaries and rules, but these things are necessary to avoid having whiny, entitled children who live in our houses until they are 40. Will it Still be Cute Then?Is it cute when a grown-up comes to your home for a meal and refuses to eat the meal you’ve prepared simply because they don’t like one of the ingredients? I know a few of these adults, but I’m certainly not raising any! Here We Go…I know, I know, I hear the objections now. What about kids with allergies? Or special needs? Or disorders that affect their ability to eat certain foods? Of course, there are exceptions to any rule and these circumstances dictate a little more leeway, but I have yet to find any condition that completely kept a parent from feeding their child any healthy food whatsoever. If your child has a condition that makes him allergic to anything but chocolate milk and cotton candy, I apologize, but I haven’t encountered this yet. What I have encountered are many children who think they are a special snowflake with special privileges who get served special food. I’ve also encountered a lot of obese kids. And kids with health problems. And it Breaks my HeartBecause kids don’t buy happy meals on their own. They also don’t habituate themselves to crap foods on their own. We feed them bland white foods and then wonder why they only like bland white foods. I know because I did it to my first child at a doctor’s recommendation. And he was a freakin’ picky eater for a couple of years before I realized my kid was going to be an inconsiderate jerk when it came to food if I didn’t change something. So I DidI think they call that parenting. It certainly doesn’t mean I always have the answers (or even that I usually do). But I do know this: It took me a few months to help transition my picky temper tantrum pitching child to an adventurous eater who loves broccoli. I know it is possible. I also know I haven’t had a picky kid since him. You know what changed? Me. Tough LoveHere’s a dose of something we aren’t giving our kids (or ourselves) very much: tough love. As parents, we owe it to our children to help them become well-adjusted, healthy members of society. One of the many small ways we can do this is by teaching them the basic idea that food is for nutrition first and enjoyment second. That we only get one body and we should take care of it. And that it isn’t ok to live off of granola bars and chicken nuggets. That they will survive eating brussels sprouts and meat. And *gasp* even salads and olives and beets and every other food that we think kids won’t like. Because at the end of the day… if our kids grow up fat, picky and sick, we have only ourselves to blame. Dear parents… let’s stop the picky epidemic. Today.

But do you know as much about the benefits of frankincense? Just the mention probably immediately calls to mind the biblical story of the Three Wise Men and their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the Child Jesus. But why was this aromatic substance valued as equal to–or even above–the value of gold in ancient times? And is frankincense really an essential oil “essential” for modern times? (Sorry, I had to!) What Is Frankincense?This powerful remedy comes from the Boswellia tree native to the southern Arabian peninsula (especially Oman and Yemen), northeast Africa, and parts of India. Long prized for its strongly spicy, woodsy aroma when burned or extracted, raw frankincense is still harvested much as it was thousands of years ago. There are different varieties of Boswellia trees, but most resins (and the oils that come from them) belong to the Boswellia carterii species (also called the Boswellia sacra) found in Oman, Yemen, and surrounding areas. Other varieties include Boswellia frereana (from Somalia) and Boswellia serrata (from India). How Frankincense is HarvestedBoswellia trees are small, scrubby, and have the ability to grow well in dry, rocky areas. To harvest, farmers strategically cut the bark in light horizontal lines. A milky sap oozes out in the shape of small “tears,” or droplets. This can only be done two or three times a year without damaging the tree. After a few years the tree must be given a period of rest to regenerate. Once the sap droplets dry on the tree, they are scraped off and allowed to harden completely over a period of time. This dried sap, or resin, looks like irregularly shaped, glossy, and slightly transparent stones. The larger and lighter the resin, the better the quality. The purest (and most expensive) frankincense resin is almost white and comes from the second “bleeding” of the tree–and even then only under the right weather conditions. We in the Western world typically see lower quality frankincense, which is golden or amber. What is in Frankincense?According to Dr. Mercola:
What is Frankincense Essential Oil?The essential oil is made by steam distilling the resin, or “tears” of the tree. This creates a very potent and earthy smelling oil that is typically relatively pricey. This essential oil can be used aromatically and topically for its earthy balsam fragrance. The perfume industry uses this essential oil as well in various fragrances and blends. It is important to note that this oil should not be ingested as large amounts can be toxic when consumed internally, though topical uses are considered generally safe. But why has this particular tree sap and oil enjoyed such an honorable reputation? Read on: The Venerable History of FrankincenseRecords of frankincense as a valuable trade commodity date back to 3,000 B.C. in regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Its history cannot be separated from its ancient and medieval roots, especially in regard to religious rites. Babylonians and Assyrians valued this resin for its intense aroma and white smoke when burned, wafting to heaven as incense in their sacred places. Egyptians used it as incense but also in perfumes, healing salves, insect repellent, eyeliner, and mummification techniques. Biblical UsesThe Hebrew Bible mentions that frankincense was burned in the temple, and we know that frankincense was important in their burial anointings (one of the reasons it was gifted to the Christ Child.) Around 500 B.C., this prized resin made its way to China, where Eastern medicine practitioners began to realize the medicinal value of frankincense in increasing circulation. Some cultivation of Boswellia trees took hold in southern China but has never become a primary source. Value Throughout HistoryBy the first century, frankincense trade had made the Arabian regions very rich. The long, dangerous journey along the Silk Road necessary for trade made it scarce and very costly. At the time of Christ, it truly was more valuable than gold. While it may be less prized in the West than in its native parts, it is still one of the most costly essential oils in modern times. And do you know the smell of a Catholic Mass? That’s frankincense! The burning of this resin still holds a place in the Catholic liturgy today as an incense for special feast days. The Benefits of FrankincenseSo besides its aroma, what makes frankincense so alluring? Studies are quite limited in scope, but holistic experts claim quite a few health benefits on the testimony of its long history. Put simply, frankincense* seems to have powerful properties that:
Support Cellular Function & CirculationSources claim that Frankincense has the ability to penetrate cells and promote healthy cell regeneration. There aren’t many studies to back this up but a great deal of anecdotal evidence from people who used the oil topically for this reason. Reduce Inflammation & Joint PainRecent studies have tried to narrow in on the reason why frankincense might offer these health benefits. The potent active agent seems to be a property called Boswellic acid, which can be extracted from the resin through various methods. Boswellic acid is a terpenoid compound that mimics the action of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen). Since inflammation is at the root of much chronic disease, the anti-inflammatory action of Boswellic acid shows promise for treating diseases like arthritis, asthma, Crohn’s, and even bladder, pancreatic, and skin cancers. Frankincense also shows a lower risk of unpleasant or dangerous side effects compared to NSAIDs. Skin BenefitsThe astringent properties of Frankincense make it an excellent choice for topical uses. Anti-aging products use the oil for the skin benefits. It also may help speed healing of minor wounds and insect bites. I personally use it in homemade beauty products for its scent and for reducing scars or tightening skin. I have a few scars where I had moles removed when I was younger and I’ve been rubbing shea butter and frankincense oil on it to help it fade. RelaxationThough we don’t completely understand why, this oil seems to promote relaxation and sleep. The effect may be due to the aromatherapy benefits. This is especially relevant with the rising number of disorders related to stress and sleep. Oral HealthThe astringent and antiseptic properties of this resin make it beneficial for oral health as well. The resin and essential oil can be used in homemade toothpastes recipes or mouthwash recipes for a natural way to reduce bad bacteria in the mouth. Hormones and MemoryFrankincense is also credited with helping balance hormones and improve memory. I wasn’t able to find any studies that back up this claim, but it is also important to realize that studies on essential oils are expensive and hard to fund. There is some evidence that the compounds in the resin can help balance estrogen production. Many women use it topically for this reason to help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms during menopause. One study found that the compounds in Frankincense reduced cyst and tumor formation in the uterus after menopause. Can Frankincense Cure Cancer?Finally, the cancer-protective benefits are the most well-known claim attached to this ancient tree. Research has found a protective effect against some kinds of cancer cells. Emerging research is even showing that Frankincense may halt cancer cell growth and cause the cancer cells to shut down. Immunologist Mahmoud Suhail and researchers from the University of Oklahoma think they understand why:
The researchers have isolated 17 compounds that may produce these effects and as a result are now conducting further studies to identify which one is responsible. There are also claims that frankincense’s cancer-fighting benefits might be overstated or at least widely misunderstood. Frankincense Benefits: Bottom LineThis ancient tree has a rich history of use for thousands of years. Recent research shows that it may have many benefits in modern times as well. There is still much we don’t understand about how the compounds within frankincense work. Much research remains before we can understand the role of this promising but mysterious substance in alternative medicine treatments. *Note: Most existing studies (see resources below) focus on the benefits of a specific extraction, Boswellia serrata extract (BSE), which is different from the essential oil. Although a few studies claim otherwise, it is possible that the essential oil contains far less (if any) Boswellic acid. This article is a good summary of the difference between extraction methods. Home Uses for Frankincense Essential OilI love the scent of frankincense and the earthy, deep tone it adds to oil blends. I also use it in several beauty recipes for its cosmetic and health benefits. Here are Some Ideas for Using it
This essential oil pairs nicely with lemon, lavender, patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood, black pepper, ylang ylang, pine, rose, and of course myrrh. Play with different combinations and find your favorite! What I UseIt’s important to always use high quality essential oils, as the cheaper options tend to be diluted are are less effective. I personally used both the resin & essential oil from here. Frankincense CautionsOf course, I can’t write a post on essential oils without a reminder that they should be applied with care and caution. Always dilute in a carrier oil and only apply topically. It is also extremely important to avoid the use of frankincense if you are pregnant or nursing (without consulting a practitioner first), and do not diffuse around babies and small children.

Unless you are willing to fork over an arm and a leg for a piece of fabric your baby is going to drool and slobber on, you will often have to settle for what is offered. DIY Baby BibsI was gifted some high quality bibs when my first was born and they were well loved. When I tried to replace them with new bibs of the same brand they were not the same! The quality was just not there anymore and the backing fabric shriveled in the dryer the first time I washed them. So out of frustration, I set out to make my own. This gave me complete control over the fabric quality, pattern, and shape of the bib, and because bibs don’t require a lot of fabric, my cost was about the same as the cheap store ones even though I used higher quality fabric. I sat down this week to make some bibs for a friend’s baby and I thought I would share with you a quick tutorial on how to make some of your own. Choose Your FabricSmall projects like bibs are fun because not only are they quick to complete, but you can make them for practically nothing. I used 2 pieces of fabric about 14″ by 16″. This would be very inexpensive to buy and free if you already have a stash of fabric or remnants leftover from another project. For this set of bibs I used an adorable organic cotton print for the front. There is a growing variety of organic cotton that have adorable prints using low-impact, organic dyes. For the backing, I used PUL (polyurethane laminate). PUL is the same material used to make cloth diaper covers. This will give a little more protection for the baby’s clothing but is not necessary. In the past, I have used terry cloth fabric for the backing. It doesn’t offer quite the same protection as the PUL but is still an excellent choice, especially if you want an all cotton option. An old towel works wonderfully for this. You can also use a simple cotton muslin for the back layer. It is inexpensive and readily available. There are also organic versions offered. Make A PatternThere are a plethora of free baby bib patterns available around the web, but I used one of those gifted bibs as a pattern. (As tattered as they are I haven’t been able to part with them.) If you are using a bib you already have, you will need to add a 1/2″ all the way around the bib when you make your pattern in order to allow for the seam allowance. Lay the bib down on a piece of newspaper or butcher paper. Make sure the velcro or snap is undone so that the bib lays flat. Trace around the entire bib 1/2″ from the edge of the bib. I used a small sewing gauge ruler and worked my way around. Cut along the line you made. This piece will now be used as your pattern. If you don’t have access to a bib to use for a pattern, feel free to use a free printable one. Or if you are super crafty, you can draw your own. Choose Your ClosureI use a snap press to put a snap closure on my bibs. Hook and loop is also good for fastening bibs. This will just be a matter of choice and what you have access to.
