Hi beekeeper friends. I'm not sure if you've heard, since news spreads fast. My mentor Mike Stang peaceful passed away. He wasn't alone. This is an incredible loss.

I will always remember the day he rescued bees off my fence, then gifted me with courage to become a beekeeper. He mentored so many, from young to old, with his captivating stories. His bad jokes had perfect timing. That twinkle in his bright blue eyes. The love of his life was “his girls” 🐝🐝🐝 and he would always talk to them. He was quite a character!

He encouraged me to start a 🐝 non-profit, so I did! He never liked having pics taken, so here’s a pic of my first “be a beekeeper” tour I did. With his belief in me, now about 800+ folks from around the world have come to meet “the girls” and are now beekeepers.

As much as I’m heartbroken, I take comfort in knowing he’s at peace. His light shines on. He lives in so many lives he has touched.

And whenever you see honey bees, say “hi girls”… he would love that. ❤️🐝🐝🐝

Kindness is everywhere. Maybe it’s because I’m a humble bumble 🐝and attention makes me uneasy, but I feel compelled to share this with you. Love is al around us. We just sometimes have to sit with it #🐝 #❤️

Hanging out with these cute little “newbies” today (ages 4.5 to 7 years older) make me feel so tall 🤣 Bee tours wrap for the season 10/31. #🐝

Magick is real! I’m just about to drive over and SURPRISE a sweet little old lady I’ve never met with some summer honey & lotion bars! Back story... A dear friend shared a neighbor of hers is selling candle making supplies for $100 (see left pic; valued at much more). After speaking with her she decides to donate the supplies to our bee non-profit. So generous! In return, she’s about to get a sweet surprise in return. I’m so exited! Bee on the lookout for some beeswax candle making YouTube videos soon 🐝❤️🙏🏻 🐝

Just created Beeswax Candles for Prosperity & Love. Really enjoying the gold sparkle and shimmer off the Fool’s Gold. The cinnamon stick with beeswax, cacao butter and subtle coconut are so sweet together. Finally PurrFected the recipe and will shoot an educational YouTube video soon to teach how to make them to help beekeepers around the world. So happy 😁 🐝

Love is in the air! Do you love lavender? So do the bees! By adding sweet local honey to dried lavender blooms, something magical begins! Bee warned: these honey-lavender biscottis may break hearts by disappearing fast!

Why do bees love lavender? The fragrant plant is irresistible with abundant pollen and nectar to feed them! Lavender blooms during a midsummer gap when pollen and nectar supplies are very low, and when “the girls” are their hungriest! Lavender is so productive, so go ahead and harvest blooms to enjoy in your cookies, teas, or enjoy in a vase. There will be plenty leftover for a bee-friendly feast. https://youtu.be/8090vPJaW2E

Cheers, meows, and bee happy,
Alison, Hobbes & "the girls"
