Last weekend I had the chance to take a vinegar class with and I absolutely loved it 🌿

We learned about the history of vinegar, different types, and how it can be used in everyday life. My favorite part was tasting the different types of vinegar.. the balsamic vinegar from Italy was delicioussssss yall😋 We learned how to make scrap vinegar from kitchen leftovers and creating a spring tonic for digestion and seasonal allergies.

We also learned how to use fruit shrubs for mocktails and a non toxic multipurpose cleaner which I thought was pretty cool.

If you are into herbs, natural living, or just love learning new skills I highly recommend taking one of her classes. I walked away with so much inspiration and practical knowledge.

I went to a beekeeping class today I enjoyed myself and learned a lot!

Here’s some of the stuff I learned today 🐝🍯

Queen Bee:

The queen is the heart of the hive. Her primary role is reproduction. She lays up to 1,500 to 2,000 eggs per day during peak season and releases pheromones that keep the colony unified, calm, and functioning. She does not collect nectar or defend the hive.

Worker Bees:

Worker bees are all female and make up the vast majority of the hive. Their role changes as they age.

• House bees (young workers) clean cells, care for larvae, feed the queen, and produce royal jelly and beeswax
• Nurse bees feed and tend to developing larvae etc.
• Builder bees create and repair comb using beeswax
• Guard bees protect the hive entrance from predators
• Forager bees (older workers) leave the hive to collect nectar, pollen, water, and propolis

Drone Bees:

Male bees have one purpose…To mate with a queen and support the future of the colony. They do not forage, defend the hive, or make honey. (Like some of y’all baby dads 😂 I kid I kid) That’s why they’re kicked out the hive during the cold season.

Some more random facts:

🐝1 bee makes 1 teaspoon of honey in their lifetime, crazy!

🍯Honey NEVER expires, like ever!

🐝Bee’s are related to ants and wasps

🍯There are over 20,000 species

🐝Honey bees are actually very gentle, and they die if they sting you.

🍯In a bees lifetime they fly 1- 1/2x the circumference of the earth

🐝They have a regular stomach and a honey stomach

🍯Their predators are skunks and bears (that’s why you don’t wear black or red when tending to bees.. they will mistake you for a bear or skunk and attack you 😳)

Would yall try beekeeping?!?!?!?

Spent the evening making Fire Cider at

The class was lead by Nick who also did the BYHA course, so I felt right at home.

Fire Cider in simple terms..is a strong, tangy tonic people take in small amounts to help support their immune system, digestion, and circulation, especially during cold and flu season. It is called fire cider because it tastes hot and warming and gives a noticeable kick when you drink it.

You can add it to water, tea or even a salad 😋 the choice is yours..

We added: onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, black pepper corns, thyme, cinnamon, oranges, lemons, hot peppers, sage, rosemary.. and of course apple cider vinegar (with the mother) & honey.

We have to let it soak for about a month, so it can extract all the yummyness and then we will be good to go! 😌

Would you try this?
