If you want to learn how to become an herbalist.. head over to my website and check out our online course thehoneystead.com

There are so many "theatrical" people on KZfaq, which is okay if you enjoy that kind of delivery. I however prefer listening to someone who is more real and authentic. I grow my own plants to eat and for medicinal use and think that you never stop learning, so I listen to you chatting and teaching those of us who are eternal students. Learning about Bee Keeping is on my to do list. 🐝

You are not a giddy little school girl copying everyone else in this Homestead "community" and for that, we are eternally grateful. That is your charm. We appreciate the real deal. Don't ever change. This is such a great channel! ....and thanks for the tea 😊

I looked up this quote in the first minute of your video today. The reason why I looked it up, is because it sums you up really well. I've been watching for a couple of months, to learn from you, and learn I have! The plan for this spring was made a year ago, to plant as many herbs and beneficial plants that I have to, to build my medicine cupboard. I already forage for a lot of things, but noticed that I am lacking in some areas, so I came here to find out what I need to plant to build up those areas. I continue watching you - every single video you upload - because of the words in this quote. Have a blessed day Kaylee. In my mind, you are nothing short of amazing. "Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others." ~ Gordon B Hinckley

Omlord. I can’t believe that you are saying that you are not special. You are doing such a great job teaching us how to use our herbs . Specially, for me,it’s only since last summer that I really started to collect herbs. Never put yourself down. It’s not the way to go. Look at yourself in the mirror, you are very very special. Don’t live no body tell you the opposite or believe the opposite. ❤❤

You are very special - LOOK at all you've accomplished. You're a real inspiration

Just a note: each of Gods creatures are special and unique, and you Kaylee are no exception. Of all your videos I have seen my favorite tidbit was how to breathe on a bee to revive her when she had gotten too cold. This has worked for me several times. Also, you had a list of things a new beekeeper should do or consider. It was very helpful and encouraged me to get a good beesuit. (I had tried to scimp and made one myself. But, I took your advice and that very week I went to check on my bees and both hives had dumped upside down during a storm. The "good" beesuit was a life saver. Thanks. Jaime B.

The fact that you are a homesteader first and share your life is why we watch. I have unsubscribed from some channels that I thought were going to have content I would enjoy. But, after a while, I realized they were just doing whatever they thought would get clicks. Your content is real. The apothecary has come so far! Watching the building and each addition has been enjoyable.

O, but you are special! You are so special in the eyes of God. You are teaching us to use the things He so graciously plants in the earth for us to use. Your personality is one of love and kindness. Just keep "beeing" you!! We love you!

I'm so happy I found your site, im from Australia, I think you and your mum are such great teachers ans so real thankyou

Your videos just make me happy. There’s something quite magical about you. 😊

I just got David Hoffmann book a few weeks ago. I feel a bit overwhelmed at this point in my journey

Thank you for this video. I love hearing you talk about prayer and self studying.

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscriber milestone! I appreciate your content rich videos, and have learned a lot from you. I am happy to see all your hard work is paying off!

Thank you for sharing your heart and knowledge.

You and your family (mother, grandmother, children) have me hooked!! Online classes. Lots of books. Looking forward to Spring when I can start foraging and gathering! First on the list? A freeze dryer! Thank you so much for your faith; your willingness to share;your expertise and your boundless energy! God bless you!

Thank you! You reminded me about the queen Ann's seeds I saved last year even though you said "yarrow". 🤣 I need to get those out! Oh, another excellent video. 👏 👏👏

"I'm nothing special." Who are you trying to kid? I don't follow not special people. You are very precious, sweet and totally 'wholesome' and I absolutely love you. (and your Mama)

God Bless you for sharing your passion for health and for presenting it as a WHOLE. Thank you for including that your journey is a gift from our heavenly Father. He has richly blessed you and that blessing has rippled further than you realize. THANK YOU and God Bless you. Say hello to your dear mother. I love seeing you two interact and share your opinions with such grace and love.

You are doing what you love. Most folk are doing something that they are ambivilent about or that they really hate because that's all they know. You are showing people that you really can do something that you love to do, that feeds your soul, that helps others. It gives us hope. People are drawn to that because its like a beacon in the darkness. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing with all of us. I am just starting to prepare an area for a medicinal herb garden. I learn better by doing. I always learn as I go. I have a few tinctures that I have made so far and I get nervous to use them...I feel like I may have done something wrong and make myself and my family sick. I have used essential oils for many years but feel the herbs could be just as good or better. I guess I lack confidence.

We’re all super special. I was moping around feeling all grown up, and my mom and dad were like waz up, and my dad scooped me in to him and mommy. It feels so good to not be grown up sumtimes. Then, my lil sis and 2 of my little bros wanted to cuddle, and I was like I’m not in a rush.

This is how a Happy life looks like??? Love your videos and thanks for share your amazing life and happy place you have 🐝🐝🐝

Congrats on the new subs and hitting over 100k now! :)

You are such a sweet soul. Really enjoy hanging out with you. So inspiring, thank you so much 🙏🏽

I asked the question below. I am not on any other social media and don't have access. Please answer my question on here? I believe you didn't see it the last time I posted it and the tree has been down for a week now. ThanQ so very much!

Sam Coffman’s book is great too. He was a Green Beret Medic! He and his staff are awesome teachers

Married for 17 years…and for all this time I thought you were about 30 or even just nearing that decade. I found your channel just a few days ago and have been watching your videos as they come along that resonate with me. I have been learning so much and I so very much appreciate your creations. 😀

Been making herbal tea since childhood, when there wasn't you tube😊, 🌞 good morning

I appreciate your logical and scientific approach and the fact that you acknowledge how many other factors, like diet and stress, can influence your mind and body. Herbal medicine is just part of the picture but what a fun picture! Thanks for sharing your apothecary with us, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

I think I figured it out. The reason why you are so appealing. You seem to be the perfect embodiment of hard work, great old world knowledge, tasteful execution of everything you do, gentle truthfulness and genuine femininity. Just missing greatly in this world. Thank you! Please let no one or no thing take that away from your beautiful world. Even if you have to leave YT. Don't compromise!

Been follong you since Jess promoted you to get you to 10K. I believe you were at around 7k to 8k. Love your spirit and content. Keep doing what you are doing. #theJessEffect

Thanks so much for your great introduction! I was wondering if you can suggest a plant app for foraging that would be good with your suggestions of field guide books?

A wonderful explanation

I’m so thankful for coming across your channel last week on the Hoss seeds review. I’ve been in healthcare for 30yrs as a nurse and this intro today really sparked a renewed hope and kindled a fire to learn more medicinal herbalism knowledge. So excited to learn from you and thankful for your honesty and sharing tried and true resources to help aide our own research.

Congrats on the milestone! Your joy in herbalism has pushed me from dilly-dally research to the need for knowledge 🖤

Thank you to one praying woman from another! I’m newer to herbalism and it’s so cool to see how God has given us everything we need, all around us! Thank you for helping people learn how to take care of themselves and to get back in touch with faith, each other, and the earth.

“We’re so blessed but are we really….”loled at that one. Yes with you on the aspect of technology being a double edged sword.

I liked that your oldest had to get his coat, and was obviously uncomfortable! Real life!

Thank you for helping us

I have just come across your channel and I’m loving your authenticity and passion. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. ❤ From Australia. 😊

I’d love a video about how to do a consultation with a client.

Get the "natural medicine comprehensive database". It pools the studies done on the different herbal

Hey there, I absolutely love your channel. Such useful information and I'm learning so much. I just wanted to ask what the ratio should be with a cayenne pepper tincture? I've been researching it and I am getting mixed information so I thought I would ask you both since I trust your knowledge and experience. Thanks in advance.

I fall back on memories of happy times when I'm stressed. Kind of like meditation in a sense. Its a great tool also!! My hubby bought me two herbal books for Christmas, one a small one I keep in my purse,and the bigger more in depth one here at home!! Thank you for inspiring me!!😀🌿🌱

I enjoy learning from you. I am overwhelmed but a little at a time. I will learn.

I’m so excited to be ordering my first honey bees in a few weeks! I’ve joined a local beekeeping club that has put me in touch with my new community. Thank you for all the wonderful info❤️

It could take many lifetimes to learn herbs. . Just start somewhere. I believe we have an affinity for herbs that we need. ❤️🌱

I had health issues several years ago and I had to change my eating habits. I am doing great now. Better at 63 than I was at 43. I have dabbled in medicinal herbs all my life but am now taking it more seriously. I am building a mini apothecary. I also have several different herbs that I am growing and will add some in the spring. I am going to go through my seeds and maybe start some. We have a short growing season.

Thank you for the glorious information and inspiration. With deep gratitude for you 🙏💖✨

Congratulations on the 100,000 that’s a big number.

Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 well deserved! I'm a recent subscriber ( around 3-4 months?) And I've been loving & learning so much from your videos 😀

Checked out the podcast, love your description!! "trying to shine a little light of encouragement for others to not be afraid to get their hands dirty and learn something old!"

You are very sweet and honest about your homestead ....and your mom is very nice too. You are inspiring me to do more and better.😊

I watched a video of yours not that long ago where you spoke of cleavers. OMG out of no where a couple of years ago it appeared in my flowerbeds. Couldn’t figure out what it was much less that it was medicinal. I cannot say thank you enough for sharing your experience and bringing us along on your foraging trips. Would have kept ripping it out and tossing it otherwise. God Bless.

I consider my self a kitchen witch. I em to have a lot of instinctual or ancestral knowledge as to how alot of herbs and medicines work. I have had a lot of ppl tell me they felt better after eating something I hav cooked or a tea I've thrown together. I haven't done any formal Stuy or anything, but since following you I have received a lot of affirmation that my instincts are correct. Thank you for being you, and for the info you share. You are loved and appreciated

I am so thankful I came across your channel!

I just discovered your channel. Love it! I grow a lot of my own herbs and am about half way through a course in Herbalism! I make a lot of tinctures and my own teas. Thanks for being there and all of the information. Subscribes and following you. Many blessings!❤

Think the 5 foraging idea is a great place to start. I did this last summer. I have plantain, mullien, goldenrod, elderberry, oxeye daisies, nettle in abundance!

I love you , your husband kids plus mom!!!!!!! I am 65 and enjoy the continent. please don't leave KZfaq..

I love the laid back and honest style of your videos. Currently doing a course in Herbal Product Manufacturing ( Australia) . Late starter as I am a retired biochemist and have been doing some minor products for a local herbal/natural centre for a few years but my previous fields ( water and food) are a little different to herbalism. Some commonalities in the lab and biochemistry skill sets are handy. BTW, hobby beekeeper too last 5 years, only 5 hives but that's all I want to manage with the food garden and animals. I love the wild foraging books that the US has and our indigenous herbs are being catalogued and seriously researched.James Green's book is also a favourite here too. For fellow Aussies can I recommend anything by the local master herbalist Isabell Shippard. Sadly no longer with us but excellent reference material in all her works on herbs is a life long legacy of her experience and knowledge.

1 day closer to Spring!!!😁I miss my🐝's I have decided I don't like Winter beekeeping. 🤣 You and your Family are a Blessing, keep letting the Lord's Light shine.

You are very special, you are a child of God and you are sharing your God's given gift. Thank you so much for sharing. By the way I've been watching your videos for about a month and the first time I saw you I thought you were in your 20s. Keep up the great work. Many blessings to you and your family.

Thanks for all the information. I'm glad to have found your channel. 😊

What a wonderful introduction to herbalism, thank you for the information and books. I love your honesty about herbs and that we need to do our own research. You are so real and that is appreciated! 💐💐

Ooooh I can’t wait until this Spring! I definitely want to learn how to keep bees 🐝 Thank you for sharing and inspiring! I came to learn about herbalism but I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that I’m learning so much more. Thank you for doing what is good.

I enrolled in a herbalist class! You have inspired me to dream big!

Kaylee GOD is blessing you because you are a beautiful person inside and out. Yes, ppl want what you have.. most of all they love you. I am so happy that I get to follow you and your Mom's journey. I'm so excited for you! 100,000!! Praise God!!

Hi We are a family homestead since 2012 we decided we want to be self-sufficient grow our own food raise our own food. We always lived for God and the day my husband almost died I decided we have to use Gods medicine. I watched a lot of you tube and Googled a lot .But after seeing the first few videos of yours I now spend hours and hours studying I want to know everything I want to know how to help my family and friends. I want to know everything about herbalism. Thank you and God bless you.

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscriptions. I am like you - I prefer books. I know now days you can look things up but if there is no electricity you cannot. There is something about having an actual book to look at. I love foraging but I am still learning. Funny a cousin came up and we were talking about the different types mushrooms, fiddleheads, leeks/ramps that we have foraged. My dad always said God gave us the product - it is just learning what to use, were to find it, and how to use it. You are SPECIAL. We are all SPECIAL.

I love your channel- it is like sitting with a wise friend. I love how you end each video, "Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and learn something something old"

Exactly how i feel! Would miss internet as a resource.

I would love to see an in depth essential oil making video, please. We are growing more herbs and flowers that we could use for oils, but which equipment is best, etc. is hard to pinpoint. I would like to request that if possible. Love your channel. Always makes me smile.

Keep being you !

I've also loved seeing your 3 generations bee work. What a strong heritage to pass through the generations. Your son might not appreciate it yet but he soon will. Well done. Again.

Thank you for sharing your journey 💞

I so enjoy watching your videos. You bring it down home so that everyone can understand what you are talking about. I love how real and open you are to share your family adventures with us too. It is almost like we are close friends and even neighbors .

Love your channel. I’m learning so much!

Kaylee, please...I asked a question on one of your previous videos. This is time sensitive. I had a 50' white pine taken down before it fell on it's own. (the middle was filled w/ants) What is the best way to preserve either the pine needles and/or the tea. It would be a shame to waste all that bounty but I don't want to do it wrong and lose the medicinal qualities. Please help! Also, if you're not aware, there is someone posting to sell their hallucinogenic items as a response to our questions on here! I get an email from them for every comment I post here!

KAYLEE!!?? Surgical first assist??!! Me, too! I knew we had a kinship!!! LOL. I’m ready to get out of the medical field! I’ve cut my hours to 5 days a pay period and am using the time to build my homestead with the hopes of retiring soon!!! Keep up the good work!

❤️

Thank you

I love your channel....just the way you are.

I found you from Becky at Acre Homestead. She's mentioned you a few times so I finally came over to say hi. And I must say, I already love your channel!! I started herbalism a few months ago and loving it as well as looking to have bees because the world needs to protect them more. You now have another subscriber

I enjoy watching

Wonderful vlog that will encourage & assist many who are seeking, including me; thanks for sharing! I’ve dabbled in medicinal plants & uses for the past 10 years or so & I’m in my 7th decade. They are my friends & allies with fermented foods. Many blessings to your family🤗💜🇨🇦

You have such a beautiful place to share from. Not many have an extra cabin hanging around to convert or the family members to jump in and do the work. You all have put in the time and energy to make it all happen. Oncve again, congrats on the 100,000 plus and growing...

I'm a new subbie. I found your and subbed today, and have been watching back to back videos of you since. I'm a maker, from Barbados. I make batural bath and body products with herbs and plant extracts. I'll be making my first tincture soon, so I've been binge watching tincture videos on KZfaq,, and that's how I found you. I'm so happy I did. P.S. You ARE special. You are helping others to learn how to live their dreams. I also live in the countryside and am about to start growing some of my food. So you channel is a bonus find for me,. :o)

I never knew what foraging was. today I went looking for nettles. I did find something else. I'm drying it now. it's Speedwell with the blue flowers. for liver, skin healing I have leafsnap app on my phone it tells what it is. thank you so much. you got me started.

I found you a few months ago and have loved watching you and your mother. I have started buying some of the herbal books and look forward the learning about bee keeping its something I have been looking to learn. Thank you so much!

I love it here! We get to go on field trips and once in awhile I get to see your sweet momma ( aka my giggle sister [ just to me of course, I just know we’d giggle] lol) … I’ve been pondering mountain rose for bulk herbs so thanks for that!

Thank you Kaylee❣ This, as always was great.🤗

You are special and just what I needed I planted alot of herbs last year but have been so scared to do anything with them. You are just who I need to guide me in my journey thank you!!

Thank You 💖

How much time per week do you devote to your herbalism education and how long do you anticipate it will take to become registered?

I absolutely adore you and your momma. And I thank you both for sharing your knowledge with all of us. We are blessed by each of your videos. I have a question and thought you’d be the best source. I want to make a multivitamin using plant matter. I have researched and researched and have read that alcohol will extract the vitamins and minerals and then read that vitamins and minerals cannot be extracted using alcohol. Much love and blessings to you and yours.

Thanks for this video

You are Special! Absolutely love your videos!

I love your channel! You have many of the same herbal books that I do. Your apothecary is beautiful!!

Well rounded Thank you
