The sacred geometry of dandelions is so beautiful 🥰🌼 I cannot wait for them to start popping up to make some detox teas and dandelion honey, and dry some for my bunnies! With of course leaving most for the bees to feast on 🐝💕
There are so many recipes that exist, which ones are your favorite?
How can we make vegan honey recipes that are less reliant on imported sugarcane, and incorporate locally grown plants? I like apple honee personally, with garden fresh chamomile, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
Jumping off of the previous question, how can we make vegan honey alternatives easier for homesteaders by incorporating natural sweeteners that can be grown at home, like Yacón root?
What if someone is allergic to apples or dandelions, are there other plants we can incorporate into these recipes?
How can we make vegan honey ingredients grown at home better for local pollinators, other than having a pollinator garden ofc? Is it possible?
I would love to hear ppl's thoughts on this especially and specifically those who enjoy vegan honey alternatives

Recent studies conducted in Europe and North America seem to suggest that when honeybees are introduced into urban areas they can outcompete the wild bees.
In Munich, an increase in hives in the surrounding area reduced the number of wild bees recorded between May and July in the city’s botanical garden. Similarly, in Paris, fewer wild bees were observed when more hives were introduced across the city. The findings were echoed in Montreal, which between 2013 and 2020 witnessed a twelvefold increase in hives from 250 to almost 3,000. Sites with the largest increase had the biggest drop in wild bee species.
(…) Honeybees are livestock, like pigs and chicken. And just as keeping chickens won’t save wild birds, honeybees won’t save wild bees, and in some cases could be contributing to their demise.
I see so much pro honey complete misinformation being spread on this hellsite about how bees produce too much honey so the lovely beekeepers are doing them a favour by stealing their honey and selling it and how the oh so kind beekeepers care so much for their bees (and totally not about the money they're making them...) that I fell down a rabbit hole about why honey is so bad and now I'm angry.
Also bees have been around for like 130 million years, do you not think they've got survival down??? Like they know how much food to make to survive, stop stealing their life's work to put in your tea/on your food.
"Bees make way too much honey anyway so it's ok to steal" listen here bucko I have approximately 200 individual pieces of Donkey Kong merchandise which is at least 180 more than the average person needs but I'll still throw a fit if someone decided to take even one of them
