Unfortunately lockdowns at a result of Covid 19 have had the unfortunate consequences of increasing the profits of corporations at the expense of small businesses.
While markets and small businesses can not operate Bunnings , Woolworths, Amazon, McDonald’s are still able to open and are experiencing record profits.
Local beekeepers that traditionally use markets to sell honey have been suffering without market revenue.
Please reach out to your local beekeeper and support them via the honeymap.

If each of us spent $100 a year or more on local businesses instead of chain stores, it would put an extra 3 million a year into our economy, not only that but it would create thousands of more jobs each year.
Emily from Emboybee is one of the small businesses that has not been able to do markets.
She sells home made beeswax balms, candles and propolis tinctures. All of her labels are 100% plastic free printed with bladed based inks and glues making them compostable. Emily practices a modality of healing called Apitherapy (incorporating all the products and element of a beehive ). She also saves bees and educates children and adults about guiding people towards natural beekeeping methods.
You can support Emily’s small business by buying from her online store featured in the picture.
