Candle Bee Farm | Nature Tails | It's a Lifestyle

The fields are filled with the first blooms of Spring here at Candle Bee Farm™. The wild flowers didn’t blossom until after the rains this year so they are full of nectar for the industrious honey bees to start the season. All impart natural health benefits that are preserved by the honey bees in tasty raw honey. Here are a few I remember from this morning’s walk and just some of their beneficial qualities:

Red clover (blood circulation, isoflavones with antioxidant properties), valerian (good for tension, anxiety, insomnia), mayapple (laxative, purgative of parasites), wild garlics (blood cleanser, high blood pressure, ‘sweeten’ the gut and intestines, skin disorders), wild phlox (stomach disorders), chickweed (cooling, anti-inflammatory), coltsfoot (hoarseness, bronchitis, pneumonia, coughs), speedwell (mental exertion, memory, high cholesterol), dandelion (liver and gallbladder, blood purifier, improve digestion, rheumatism, glandular swellings), yarrow (mentstrual disorders, menopause, bone marrow and blood renewal) and field mustard (anti-cancer).
