We’ll have some new offerings here, come the Bealtaine springtime of 2026, within a new version of this site, where we’ll offer a small seasonal collection of true small-batch, botanically-informed, self care products and kitchen-witched culinary and medicinal wonders for those who feel kinship with the plants and their places and an honoring of their truthful stories and offerings to us as we seek a way forward that isn’t coming from the extractive capitalist, green-washed, agist culture of this moment ~ that rejects our beautiful bodies and their natural ways, and most importantly does so with such harm to our beautiful world.

We’re thinking of this new phase as a sort of Bee Haven North for our elder years. We’ll be wandering the northlands of MN, WI and MI ~ their Boreal forests, lakes and streams, bogs and marshes, to be with the Black Spruce, Tamaracks, Sand Hill Cranes, budding Poplars, migrating songbirds ~ all the sparkly waters, shallow and deep, all the seasonally fragrant airs ~ feeling the wonder we love to feel that helps us remember and connect to what we’re really here for.

Wild-crafting needs to be gentle ~ from a place of right relationship, reverence and respect, taking what is wildly abundant in teentsy amounts and relishing the protection of what is not. This is so important to us and we know many others, too. We’d like to make and share things from this place, for those that share these values ~ to shine a light on them and to be able to rub them all over our cute bodies, of all sizes, colors and ages, in all their rainbow splendor in a kind of self-care spell that helps us absorb all that is here for us now and the witnessing and loving of it.

Please come back here this spring and beyond to see what we’ll be cooking up in the splendor.

(We do plan to start some hives here in the Mn. northland in the summer of 2026 but it will only be enough for us to be among the winged-sisters again and in good years to perhaps have some honey for ourselves and a few friends and family. We won’t be able to offer honey again from hives we care for besides little wee bits offered in body care products and a few very small-batch infusions I get up to in very limited runs. The days of honey are changing so fast. We encourage everyone reading this to seek small scale, local beekeepers close to where you live that you can have a relationship with ~ perhaps at your local Farmer’s Market or finding them yourself on a backroad ~ so you can know that the beekeeping you’re supporting is actually supporting our beautiful planet and the bees and other pollinators and you can ask them questions directly about where their bees are kept and how and how they extract and process their honey.)
