On World Bee Day, let`s buzz with gratitude for our tiny pollinator pals! 🐝 Our garden thrived so much one year, thanks to a neighbor`s unexpected rooftop bee hive.
Who knew a few thousand bees could be such excellent gardeners? #BeeBlessing
Some were not as happy as we were about the situation!
Funny Story: One summer, our garden was in full bloom, and our fruits and flowers were flourishing beyond belief. It was like something out of a gardening magazine. We couldn`t believe our luck. Then, we discovered the secret behind our garden`s success – our neighbor had a bee hive hidden away in her roof!
Oh, did they work their magic! Our garden became a paradise of abundance, with plump fruits and vibrant blooms everywhere you looked.
We couldn`t help but chuckle at the irony of it all. While some might have seen a bee hive as a nuisance, for us, it was a blessing in disguise. But as fate would have it, our neighbor eventually had to remove the hive for safety reasons.
🛁 BEE BATH TIP! Remember to leave a little bowl of water with marbles or rocks out for Bees to have a #beebath during the warmer months! Bee`s need water too and if it`s too deep, they can drown!
Rosemary-scented vinegar includes an antibacterial that is excellent for wiping tabletops and counter spaces. Add 4 to 8 sprigs of fresh rosemary to infuse your cleaning spray with an earthy rosemary scent.
Four simple steps to follow:
Deposit a few Rosemary sprigs into a large Mason Jar or recycled jar (an old pickle jar works great!).
Add distilled white vinegar to fill the jar almost to the top. Seal with a lid.
Let the mixture sit for 12 to 24 hours.
Pour the scented vinegar into a spray dispenser.

Banana Peel Fertilizer: Don`t toss those banana peels! They`re packed with potassium, phosphorus, and other nutrients essential for plant growth. Simply chop up banana peels and bury them near the base of your plants to nourish the soil and encourage robust growth. You can use indoor or outdoors - just pour it around the root! Head to our youtube channel for the full recipe!! #bananapeelfertilizer #compost #gardenhacks
