One of the things I’ve loved best about my research for freerangecarrots has been discovering great, local-made Welsh products.www.natureslittlehelpers.co.uk are the perfect example. Vegans should look away now (sorry!), because this Cardiff based company make all their products from bee-keeping. As well as the most obvious gift that bees give us, honey, these clever beekeepers also create cosmetics and soap from bees wax. You can even join them on an experience day and learn how to become a beekeeper yourself. Everything you need for your new hobby can be purchased from the farm shop.
Over the winter I always suffer with really dry hands. The combination of cold weather and working with paper all day gives me the hands of a ninety-year-old with bad eczema. I regularly apply cream, and I’m constantly on the look out for the latest cure. Nature’s Little Helpers’ ylang ylang hand balm has been a huge help to me this year. It comes in a handy little tin that’s easy to pop in you bag or pocket and carry around with you, and because it’s made from bees wax it stays solid until you’re ready to use it. Then you simply warm a bit up in your hands. Plus, it smells great.
While I’m on the subject of bees, the Co-operative Plan Bee project (www.co-operative.coop/corporate/ethicsinaction/takeaction/planbee/) is a great way to learn more about these fascinating creatures. As well as helping to conserve bee populations in the UK, The Co-operative also use bee as a positive example of how teams should work together.
