About Bee Magic

Welcome to the Bee Magic site. I love to educate people about honey bees and pollinators. 

In 2009, Dad and I officially became beekeepers starting with two hives.  Originally I was going to go solo with beekeeping but two weeks prior to getting my first two hives I broke myarm.  With no lifting allowed, Dad stepped in and said he'd help.  And he stayed even after getting stung.

Lorne enjoyed many years of retirement and kept busy growing veggies on his farm garden.  He enjoyed extracting the honey and selling the precious golden liquid.  Dad passed away in 2020 and we still miss him.

I am a certified Esthetician (graduated from Fanshawe College, London ON).  I enjoy using my knowledge of skin care to develop body products such as creams, salves, body butters and soap that use beeswax and honey.  I loves wild foraging healing plants known to be excellent for skincare and incorporating them into my products.  It reminds me of gathering rose petals as a child and making rose water.

I started researching honey bees in 2008, and have been working on a children's novel about honey bees.  Read about my adventures and misadventures with the bees on The Bee Journal blog.  A second blog that's specifically geared to children is at Bee Magic Chronicles for Kids.  This is where you can learn about mummified and zombie bees and all the amazing things that bees can do.
