Hey There,

My husband and I visited your interesting place the end of April while we were on the trip to Petaluma for my brother's 70th birthday. You may recall us as we are beekeepers in Big Sandy Mush (Asheville) North Carolina.

I purchased a jar of your Bee Better Foot Magic and a skin bar. I just want to tell you that those products are great especially the foot magic. I rub it on my feet after my shower before I go to bed at night.

We loved our trip to CA and hope to make a return next spring. Will be sure to drive up to Sebastopol and see you.

We received the queen today. She's in very good shape. The nuc you sold me last year is doing great. Thanks for your awesome customer service.

We don't post much but we both agreed that Kathy Cox deserves some real credit for raising great queen bees! We have two of her nucs and both have doubled in size and are fixing to double again! Great laying patterns and so far they seem to be good producers. If any of you have doubts about her please drop us a line and we'll give you detailed information.

We realize this is a shameless plug for Kathy but she works hard and deserves credit for her work! We plan on posting some photos of our girls as they age.

Re: Allergy Relief Suggestions!

Dear folks,
After years of suffering and ALWAYS ending up with severe sinus infections due to allergies, I have finally gotten relief by eating at least a tablespoon of local wildflower honey daily. I've been doing this for almost 2 years and it's amazing! I have also used bee pollen, which is more intense and I think works faster but I just enjoy eating the honey! The pri nciple is homeopathic. By introducing a small amount of the allergen into your system via the local honey, your body eventually stops reacting to what you are allergic to. I buy honey and pollen from Kathy Cox (Bloomfield Bees). She is one of the few beekeepers in Sonoma county who uses no chemicals. Her honey is exquisite!

She has a stand at 1295 Bloomfield Road that is open daily until dark. She is also at the farmers market in Sebastopol on Sunday and I believe that she will be at the Harmony Festival. She also sells bees, flowers, eggs, beeswax candles, soaps, salves- all kinds of good stuff. She know almost everything there is to know about bees and could give you much more info than I can on how the immunity thing works as well as other medicinal properties of bee products. Her propolis (natural antibiotic ) saved my Indian ring-necked parakeet's life after he was attacked by dogs- but that's another story. She has lots of interesting bee info on her website. Anyhow, no more pills or shots needed!!

A Very happy sneeze-free customer,
Deb


Bloomfield Bees' honeybees are thriving!
I just paid another visit to my hives. The one that was formed from a nuc that I got from Kathy in February, to save a failing package hive is thriving. In fact I split it in May and the split is thriving too. Great brood pattern, lots of bees and so gentle that they are putting up with my ineptness with little protest.
