Audra Waddle went from designing pools to re-homing feral bees. Now her business, AZ Queen Bee, has a full line of food products and healing salves, all made from local Arizona honey. She says she loves the community bees create and how they take care of each other. Waddle tells us about the special scent the Queen Bee emits to promote peace and tranquility that’s unique to her hive. We also learn about the healing properties of honey and about a lecture series with author/alternative health advocate Barbara O’Neill February 24-28, 2026 and how you can attend.
