Just made some beeswax and honey lip balm

[alynewbee]

mmmmmm, feels lovely. Really pleased with how it came out. Followed the recipe I found by someone called Danielle on Youtube and flavoured it with the tiniest bit of lemongrass.

Doesn't lemongrass attract bees...

 

[alynewbee]

I believe so, don't think I'll be wearing it while I'm going through the hives!

 

[For want of a better word]

you could use Citronella which is extract of Cymbopogon winterianus a known insect repellant !

smells and tastes the same as lemon grass oil Cymbopogon citratus a bee attractant

Lovely, think I'll try that next time - thank you. I love the smell of citronella. Got 12 little pots to get through first though. I'll have the softest lips in Hampshire!
