While spring is a great time to re-energise and refresh (out with the old, in with the new!) for many of us it can mean having to suffer through spring allergies due to an increase of pollens in the air. Luckily, for those of us prone to hayfever and similar springtime illnesses, research has shown that consuming a high quality, raw honey helps to relieve symptoms of common seasonal allergies.

We are excited to bring to you our brand-new range of Beetanicals 100% Raw Australian Honey! Our premium, single-line varietals include Red Gum, Blue Gum, Yellow Box and Stringy Bark honeys are produced by our very own bees – the same ones that bring you the key ingredients in our skin balms! So, what is “raw” honey, and does it have certain health benefits?

It’s no secret that refined sugars are harmful to our health, however many of us still reach for a sweet fix, especially during the Christmas holidays. If you still want to indulge in all the delicious festive foods but with far less guilt, honey is a fantastic alternative to refined sugar when baking Christmas treats. So, what are the benefits and how do we use honey as a substitute?

More consumers are calling for natural products that really work. As a society we’re becoming more conscious about the brands we support as media and education spreads about the health risks and environmental impacts of mass-manufactured chemical-based products.

Beetanicals is on a mission to lead the charge! 

We know our mums are busy bees in the mornings, buzzing around getting everyone ready for the day and out of the house – some days there’s barely time for breakfast! Here’s a bee-licious smoothie recipe where you can just throw everything into your blender, blitz it up and you’ve got all the goodness you need to keep you going. Enjoy!

We know there is so much pressure and often anxiety around breastfeeding, so Tanya shares her own breastfeeding journey (which was far from plain sailing!) to help our mumma’s feel they’re not alone in the ups and downs. We’re all learning together, and support is the biggest thing we can offer.

Our friends atHealthy Impulse created this recipe for a Beetanicals snack on the go, and they’re delicious! Perfect for little bee’s lunch boxes, office treats and to take to parties. Containing all natural ingredients and Beetanicals Manuka Honey, they’re 100% healthy and 100% tasty!

Our little bees can pick up coughs and colds all year round, but particularly in winter, Rosalina is a key Australian Native ingredient in Baby Beetanicals - Bee Well Balm to help your baby breathe easy… and sleep easy this winter.

 

Winter seems to come around quicker each year, and with it the inevitable cold and flu season!  Beetanicals Bee Well Balm, Baby Bee Well Balm and Australian Manuka Honey have brought relief to many with cold weather-related complaints, so let’s look at some of the ways our honey and 100% natural beeswax balms can help your family stay well and happy during the winter months.

Ok, you might think we’re biased because we’re a family of third-generation beekeepers and we LOVE honey… but countless research studies have proven that Manuka Honey has powerful immune-boosting, antibacterial and antimicrobial (that is, germ-killing) properties that are highly effective in not only treating the symptoms of colds and flus – but in actually fighting off the superbugs themselves.

In honour of International Women’s Day 2019 we thought it would be a great opportunity for you all to get to know our bee-autiful Founder, Tanya Stanley, a little better.

Ah, the delicious avocado. Well, they aren’t just good for guacamole or being smashed on toast… avocados are soooo beneficial for skin health. They’ve become a popular ingredient in the natural skincare world, and our unique Beetanicals formulations are no exception.
