Now that you’ve got your wishlist, you’re ready to start acquiring plants and seeds to start your bee-friendly garden when spring arrives. Whilst we can’t recommend specific suppliers – where possible, we would always encourage people to buy organic, grow from seed or plant swap with friends to avoid plants that may have been treated with potentially harmful pesticides. Some retailers have started to really look at their supply chains to help ensure harmful chemicals do not end up in their plants so it is worth asking for information when visiting a garden centre. Even if they are unable to confirm their plants are pesticide-free, asking questions lets retailers know this is an important issue that their customers care about.

Generally, you can use them again and again for at least a year before they need recoating, although some will last longer than that. beeswax candles, bees, supplies and gifts. At Beekind, you will always find amazing local, varietal, regional and international honeys to taste until your heart is content.

Unfortunately, in today's agricultural practices, bees are harvested and treated like commodities, very similar to commercial farm animals.

That said, she warns that beeswax wraps should not be put into the microwave nor expected to endure overly hot temperatures, since that could melt the wax off of the wrap.With that in mind, it's always best to default to the manufacturer's instructions included with your product.
