Many people keep bees for the delicious honey they provide, but
beyond simply being tasty, the honey, wax, and propolis that hives
provide are potent natural healing agents and can be used to create
nourishing, handcrafted medicines. In this class, participants will
learn to make medicine that’s good for the body, heart, and soul, and
that harness the intrinsic therapeutic benefits of these gifts from the
hive. Combining locally-grown and sustainably wildcrafted herbs (many of
which can be found in the backyard or kitchen) with honey, beeswax, and
propolis, participants will learn to prepare herbal salves, infused
medicinal honeys, and propolis-based medicine. Each participant will
come away with an herbal honey, an herbal salve, recipes, and hand-outs
to guide sweet medicine explorations in the future.
