Pure Honey 16-ounce bottle, $4.50		We proudly offer a honey that is produced by a local Grand Blanc apiary (a place where beehives of honey bees are kept). Piper's Bees forage nectar and pollen from local wildflowers, trees, and gardens. Unlike most beekeepers, Piper's Bees avoid chemicals, anti-mite pesticides, antibiotics, medicines, supplements, or other such products in the bee hives. The only things put into the hives are wood, nails, beeswax, and bees! This honey is only warmed for bottling, and it has never been pasteurized. Pasteurizing honey denatures the natural proteins, pollens, and antigens found in natural raw honey. And by eating local raw honey with local pollens in it, allergy-sufferers can switch the types of antibodies they express to these antigens, and become desensitized to their allergies. After extraction, this honey is run through a simple straining cloth only, and allowed to separate naturally. No micron filters were used in the processing of this honey, because micron filters may remove the valuable pollens and complex proteins that are beneficial in local honey. 100% pure, local, organic, unpasteurized, lightly filtered, and raw. Just plain good! [link to our favorite beekeeper's blog] (other human-grade food-stuffs at JJ's: grape jelly, natural peanut butter)
		Honey Pots hold two pounds of honey. Available in green, blue, raspberry, and swirled. Please specify pattern choice when ordering. Includes hardwood honey stick.

Get cool with a natural Body Cool neck wrap
The BodyCool neck wrap is made of polyester and cotton and is filled with poly-crystals. By simply placing the neck wrap in clean water for approximately 30 minutes allowing the crystals to expand, produces an evaporative cooling system for the user when placed around the neck. The BodyCool cooling neck wrap lowers the body temperature by cooling the carotid arteries in the neck. The material may become warm against the skin but by simply rotating the wrap, the cooling effect is rejuvenated immediately! $12.95 See our current colors and designs.		Hot or Cold - simple instructions: For marvelous cooling, activate your neck wrap by soaking it in clean water...after 15 minutes crystals will begin to absorb the water and feel like a gel. Smooth out the gels and gently squish the neck wrap. Continue to soak for another 15 minutes (total of 30 minutes). Hold your BodyCool neck wrap at one end and gently squeeze out the excess water and place around your neck. Shortly, the neck wrap will no longer feel wet, but the cooling will continue for days. BodyCool neck wrap can also be used as an icepack - after soaking as described above, place in freezer for 30 minutes! To use as a hotpack activate (soak 15 min in clear cool water), then microwave for up to 30 seconds (or soak in hot water for 15 minutes). Test first to make sure the neck wrap is not too hot.

other great products for nature lovers
Stop Window Strikes! Feather Guard™ - combines bright color, motion, and the birds' natural aversion to loose feathers. In nature loose feathers are often a sign that a bird has been killed by a predator. Wild birds know that loose feathers can mean danger, so they automatically avoid them. This makes FeatherGuard a more effective solution to a confounding problem, one that often occurs right in your own backyard. Attaches to window with suction cups (provided). See more information (right). Made USA. $7.95		• Tip - If your windows are very large, place multiple FeatherGuards to cover the reflective surface. One FeatherGuard for every three feet of glass should be sufficient. Attach FeatherGuard to window with suction cups provided on opposite ends of the glass surface, leaving some slack in the line so the feathers will dance in the breeze. Feather Guard™ $7.95

		How it works: Birds enjoy sharper vision than humans. Birds can see certain light frequencies--including ultraviolet--that humans cannot see. In fact, many songbirds have feathers that reflect ultraviolet light. This light is used to communicate species, gender, and perhaps even social standing. Birds can see this ultraviolet light under normal, daylight conditions. Humans require the assistance of a black light.
