We love Bloomfield Bees! We remember you still from 2 years ago in California...the bee skin bars have been lifesavers during our cold winter months, thank you! C. Carbone

I am a big fan of your skin bar. I have tried so many others I've lost track, and only YOUR product works for me. I just stopped by and picked up yet another skin bar on Sunday. I left my check in your honor box.

I have a skin condition that has pretty much settled on the bottom of my feet. It's an auto-immune disease similar to psorisis, and it has gotten so bad sometimes I can barely walk. I have tried every lotion and potion under the sun, moon and stars, and nothing provides me relief and healing like your skin bar. I tried your foot magic, however for me the skin bar is even better. I've been without it for some time, tried your competitors bee products, and none have come even close to duplicating the results and healing I get from Bloomfield Bees Skin Bar.

As soon as I returned home with your bar yesterday, I immediately soaked my feet in warm water, and then massaged in your product and put on clean white socks. I could feel the difference almost immediately. I could literally feel my feet healing as silly as that might sound but the discomfort was subsiding and I could walk better within only a short amount of time. I treat my feet at night before going to bed, and wear sox to act as a band aid as I sleep. In the morning, I really can notice a huge difference from the day before.

This skin disease (Lichen Planus) is not a fungus or critter 96 it's an auto immune subject to stress response, and it itches like crazy. I've tried products for itching, and as yet still have not found one that offers relief. I would love it if some way you could find some natural substance you can add to your bar that has anti-itch properties. Perhaps there are some herbs out there than can do that. If only I could get past the itching, then I could live a normal life again.

Your skin bar is fantastic for moisturizing and healing and if you could add the anti-itching along with that, I would be in heaven!

I just wanted you to know how wonderful your Skin bar is from someone with a serious skin condition. It's more than a product you wear before gardening. Your competitors are lightweights in comparison. They coat the top of the skin, but really don't change my condition

Thanks so much for creating such a fantastic business/product.

The Sonoma County Metroactive voted us the North Bay's best place to spend four bucks on beauty. A very nice compliment to our bouquets. See here: http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sonoma/03.17.04/everyday-picks-0412.html

Hey There,

My husband and I visited your interesting place the end of April while we were on the trip to Petaluma for my brother's 70th birthday. You may recall us as we are beekeepers in Big Sandy Mush (Asheville) North Carolina.

I purchased a jar of your Bee Better Foot Magic and a skin bar. I just want to tell you that those products are great especially the foot magic. I rub it on my feet after my shower before I go to bed at night.

We loved our trip to CA and hope to make a return next spring. Will be sure to drive up to Sebastopol and see you.

We received the queen today. She's in very good shape. The nuc you sold me last year is doing great. Thanks for your awesome customer service.

Dear folks,
After years of suffering and ALWAYS ending up with severe sinus infections due to allergies, I have finally gotten relief by eating at least a tablespoon of local wildflower honey daily. I've been doing this for almost 2 years and it's amazing! I have also used bee pollen, which is more intense and I think works faster but I just enjoy eating the honey! The pri nciple is homeopathic. By introducing a small amount of the allergen into your system via the local honey, your body eventually stops reacting to what you are allergic to. I buy honey and pollen from Kathy Cox (Bloomfield Bees). She is one of the few beekeepers in Sonoma county who uses no chemicals. Her honey is exquisite!

She has a stand at 1295 Bloomfield Road that is open daily until dark. She is also at the farmers market in Sebastopol on Sunday and I believe that she will be at the Harmony Festival. She also sells bees, flowers, eggs, beeswax candles, soaps, salves- all kinds of good stuff. She know almost everything there is to know about bees and could give you much more info than I can on how the immunity thing works as well as other medicinal properties of bee products. Her propolis (natural antibiotic ) saved my Indian ring-necked parakeet's life after he was attacked by dogs- but that's another story. She has lots of interesting bee info on her website. Anyhow, no more pills or shots needed!!

A Very happy sneeze-free customer,
Deb

Thank you so much for your shipment - On Friday when I confirmed that I received it I hadn't opened it - when I got home with the package I found a lovely surprise, all the honey that I ordered came in one big size! I really appreciate your filling my order so quickly and I really love the cinnamon honey. Thank you very much!!! You have a loyal customer forever and I love your bees!!! Nadine Howard

Purchased a nuc with darker bees from them last year and it was slow out of the gate over the summer and for honey production. But this spring it is outdoing my other hive of golden Italians. The Bloomfield bees get up and out earlier and when the temps are in the low 50's, keep working until it is almost dark, and are extremely docile.

Granted, bee quality is totally subjective. My nuc from them was assembled from 2 hive boxes, so the colony was not from the same queen with all her brood. Granted, the colony development in this style of nuc creation is slow, the rapid activity spurt and brood development this spring is incredible. These guys have great genetics. Well worth the investment. Brad, San Francisco
