It's time to answer some fun questions from our Bee Tours... “What’s an easy and inexpensive gift? How is lip balm made from beeswax? What’s a healthier option? Where do you get the best products?” BEE WARNED (pun intended)... once you watch this, you'll never look at Burt’s Bees (aka: The Clorox Company; which is NOT a mom & pop) in the same way!
Cheers, meows, and bee happy :)
