In this episode of the Fairy & Flame Podcast, we sit down with Kaylee Richardson, the heart and hands behind The Honeystead — a thriving YouTube channel and homestead community dedicated to herbalism, beekeeping, and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature.

Once rooted in Western medicine, Kaylee chose a different path — one that led her from the sterile walls of the clinic to the living apothecary of the Earth. Through herbs, mushrooms, and the sacred work of tending bees, she rediscovered that the truest medicine grows all around us.

We explore what it means to live in harmony with the land, to see bees as teachers, and to use herbalism as a way to heal both the body and the collective spirit. Kaylee shares her insights from years of creating at https://www.thehoneystead.com, and from her newly released book, The Beekeeper’s Apothecary, a beautiful guide to crafting your own natural remedies straight from the hive and the garden.

This conversation is a gentle invitation to slow down, listen to the hum of the Earth, and remember that true wellness begins in relationship — with the plants, the pollinators, and the pulse of life itself. 🌿🐝🍄

✨ Watch, listen, and rise with us — as we continue building up the collective consciousness of our world, one pod at a time.
