🍯🌿 Honey Isn’t Just Sweet — It’s Medicine 🌿🍯
In this episode of The Pantry Chat, the conversation dives deep into how bee products and herbs work together to create powerful, natural remedies you can actually use at home. Beekeeper & herbalist Kaylee Richardson from The Honeystead shares why bees might just be the original herbalists — and how we can learn from them.
🐝 What you’ll learn:
🌿 Why bees instinctively use plants for health and protection
🍯 How honey boosts the effectiveness (and taste!) of herbal remedies
🛡️ Using propolis as a natural antimicrobial for throat sprays & salves
🧴 Why beeswax is key for healing salves and skin protection
🥄 Simple herbal honey remedies anyone can make
🌱 This is about resilience, self-reliance, and reconnecting with traditional knowledge — without needing to be a beekeeper yourself.
📖 Bonus: Kaylee’s new book The Beekeeper’s Apothecary blends herbalism and beekeeping wisdom into an approachable, practical guide.
