As a beekeeper, you not only get to take care of these beautiful creatures and have a bit of their delicious honey, but you also get a bit of wax! So what can one do with the left over cappings that come off when you harvest honey? Make Lip Balm of course!
I took a few recipes from a few different books and blogs and came up with "Bee The Balm" lip line and salve. Each recipe uses three different base oils like Apricot Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil which are then infused in a variety of herbs from my garden. Add wax and honey from my Lovely Bees and a few drops of delicious essential oil and voila! A perfect balm for soft lips, sores and dry spots!
