When your child is in agony you will do anything to relieve the pain! Natasha Roebig's daughter was born with eczema and the steroid treatment thinned her skin and her hair started falling out. On the advice of her doctor and a naturopath Natasha trialled a raw honey and bees wax balm on her daughter's skin. The treatment dramatically reduced the pain and suffering. Natasha and her husband Jason were so impressed they started beekeeping. The adventure has progressed into a business and Natasha won the 2019 Queensland Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year Award. Natasha has plans to expand the business and provide training opportunities for would-be apiarists.
