My Propolis extract Tincture is 1:9 Propolis to vodka (organic grape alcohol is best). I’m making do with a sugar cane vodka from Nicaragua. Propolis is a gift of the bees ????. Studies show its antiviral, antifungal, antibiotic, antitumor. I take 1 dropper daily. Available at 50% off on our website in the profile for a limited time. #propolis #bees #beekeeping #beegifts #apitherapy #slowlife #permaculture #nicalife #nicaragua #healing #medicinals #tinctures #beelove

I met the Mariola bee! A friend has a feral colony in their wall. This tiny bee makes wax tube entrances, and tons of honey. Only 4-5mm, this stingless bee could be a good solution for women raising bees here. When splitting the hive, they swarm to a new location, set up the hive and share resources. Then 90% of the swarm returns to the original hive. #bees #mariola #honey #honeybee #beekeeping #slowlife #nicaragua
The storm clouds help soften the light for fantastic valley views of the jungle. #orangeblossom #rainydays #permaculture #beekeeping #bees #newlife #slowlife #nicaragua
This little girl got lost. Or she came to find me. ????I found her crawling on our kitchen floor after a big wind gust. Our roof has some gaps at the seams. Poor thing. She must have gotten blown off course in the daylight. It’s after dusk now. She is dusty, young. No pollen sacs. #permaculture #bees #beekeeping #nicaragua #slowlife ????❤️????????
Love the bright pink pollen of my Rama Tulsi (holy basil) plants. Tulsi purifies the air and provides physical stamina and vitality to those use them as medicine. These are for a tincture I grow and process. The bees are loving it too. Got a close up of the very tiny purple flowers with pink pollen at the ends. #foodforest #permaculture #tulsi #ramatulsi #bees???? #bees #pollen #pink #lavenderflowers #pollenation #pollinators #tinctures ????❤️????
Are you ready for Flu Season? This tincture has always gotten us through, so we began extracting it ourselves in small batches last year, from our own elderberries and propolis. “Bee Well” is made with love from biologic Elderberries, Elder Flowers, and Propolis. For immune support.* #urbanfarming #tinctures #elderberry #propolis #bees #immuneboost #immunesupport #apothecary https://ixchel.love/product/small-batch-elderberry-propolis-tincture/
Winterized the last hive today. This block of three frames of crazy comb was one I was looking forward to retiring from the hive. Last year’s experiment of using bamboo skewers didn’t work well. Using wire frames and separating the empty frames with drawn comb to prevent these artist bees from getting all creative again. #beekeeping #honeycomb #permaculture #bees #beeswax
