Bees in the endangered list are only if a certain of hundreds of varieties. We raise bees (really fun! ) and they aren’t doing quite as poorly as people are led to believe.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I look forward to your emails & your insights!
You are a trusted source of information.

I love your Valentine gift ideas, but may I ask you to remove the comment “ideas that beat chocolate & flowers”? Your ideas stand on their own without dissing other gift ideas. I own a flower shop. There are hundreds of wonderful gift ideas for every occasion offered by hundreds of businesses ( many of them are small businesses) who are passionate about their products & also depend on sales of these products to make a living. Can we all present our lovely gifts ideas & offers without negating another’s?

Thank you for your consideration!
Vicki Bierman

Some feel that one of the things that have weakened the bees is providing them wax for the combs. Commercial bee keepers do this because it helps the bees to make more honey. But some feel like it helps the bees to be stronger if they make the wax too. So it could be to the bees advantage as well as our own to use beeswax candles.

Maca is an herb (from a root) that is good for fertility, DE is made of ground up fossilized diomes and is mainly silica which is good for hair, skin and nails

Wow, thank you so much for your comment, cls.

I feel so much more informed now that I have read that article that you put a link to. I think the death of bees would ultimately lead to the death of humanity. Sure, it would take a long time, but bees are vital to our survival.

I am guessing that the price of a sustainable-bees wax candle is more than I can afford, and to be honest I would sooner by the honey than the wax, but who really needs candles these days anyway when we are all struggling just to get grassfed meat.

Thanks for the post, Wellness Mama, and thanks for your comment again, cls!

I have some, but it tastes awful. I can barely choke it down, even in a huge glass of chocolate milk.

I’m glad to see beeswax mentioned here. It’s not talked about much but it really is health promoting and not just “not bad” for you.

While beeswax candles are healthier for people, they are NOT usually a sustainable or eco-friendly option. Bee populations are in great danger worldwide, which is a much bigger deal than dying polar bears or sea turtles because these awesome insects are responsible for pollinating a dizzying array of crops the human race relies on to survive.

When buying beeswax (or honey, for that matter), it’s important to know your source. Harvesting beeswax requires the destruction of beehives, as it is the substance that creates the hives themselves. Naturally- or wild-harvested beeswax is bad for the planet because it decimates bees’ homes and larvae. The only surefire route to getting it in an eco-friendly way is to know your local, organic bee farmer, and learn whether her practices are sustainable.

I know the ethic of this blog is family health, not planet health, but in my opinion the two go hand-in-hand.

I’m not sure what we are doing yet (it’s both of our first Valentine’s Days with someone and we are newlyweds!…and on a TIGHT budget), but it will be fun. Thank you for these ideas! Even if we can’t afford them yet, I can file them away for future gift ideas. 🙂

We are going to start the day with breakfast together with homamade waffles prepared on a 100+ year old waffle iron and then spend the day together, traveling to another town and poking around in the shops and having dinner together. It doesn’t get any better than that.
