Classes, Workshops & Experiences
I quit the grocery business once because I wanted to teach. Twenty two years later, that dream has come true. I didn't know I would be teaching about the amazing world of honey bees and the critical need we have for pollinators. I'm passionate about experience design and have loved helping thousands of people satisfy their curiosity about these amazing creatures and their taste buds with the delicious honey they create. I've lead international interactive online sessions for hundreds and in person tastings for a few. I'm just as comfortable with a group of Cub or Girl Scouts as I am a room full of CEOs. I would love to inspire your group! Just give me a buzz..

Honey Bees & Our Health
Every thing honey bees do has a potent impact on our health. Develop a full appreciation of the magic they make from honey to propolis to beeswax to bee venom. Explore insights on local honey and allergy relief. Discover how honey can nourish your skin.
Honey Bee Happy Hour
We talk about bees and honey - answer participants questions. Each attendee will have the ingredients and make their own Bees Knees Cocktail. The goal is to satisfy their curiosity and celebrate with a toast at the end. Great for team builds, friend gatherings, foodie fun or event book clubs - read a honey bee book!
In this hands-on beeswax experience, you’ll learn what beeswax actually is, how bees make it, and why it’s the most precious resource in the hive. I’ll show you how I render beeswax, share trusted sources, recipes, and all my hard-earned tips (so you don’t repeat my sticky mistakes).
Your skin is your body’s largest organ—are you nourishing it well? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll learn how skin changes at every age and create a natural sugar scrub to support healthy, glowing skin. We’ll also explore simple herbal remedies like calendula salve for everyday skin care. ​
Did you know the air inside a beehive is naturally charged with negative ions and constantly circulated by thousands of beating wings? In this workshop, we’ll explore the science and magic of hive air — then experience our own breath in a new way through Zentangle, a simple mark-making meditation practice. Inhale. Exhale. Draw. No art skills needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to pause.
Cooking & Baking with Honey
I love to cook. And bake. And eat! Sharing the joy of good food, recipes that you'll actually use and little tips that make meals memorable are my jam. I teach cooking classes - both demonstration and hands on - in every kind of setting.
You can find me teaching a few times a year at Barton Springs Mill - my favorite local flour & cooking school.

Honey Bee Book Club
Looking for a fresh book club idea? Choose a novel or memoir with a honey bee theme and invite a beekeeper to your discussion. I’ll join your gathering to illuminate the bee biology, beekeeping practices, and hive wisdom woven through the story—plus share a few secrets from inside the hive.
