Kaylee Richardson

Kaylee is a beekeeper, herbalist, homemaker, and the published author of The Beekeeper’s Apothecary, as well as the founder of the Bee Attuned Mushroom Blend. Based in Virginia, she embraces a life that weaves together many roles, finding deep purpose in the balance each one brings.

Her journey began with a desire to teach her children a more grounded, intentional way of living—one that often feels overlooked in today’s fast-paced world. Alongside her husband, she has built a life centered around raising livestock, growing their own food, foraging for mushrooms, crafting by hand, and preparing nourishing meals at home.

Returning to nature became a path of healing for Kaylee. Through her work with honey bees—the original herbalists—she has developed a deeper understanding of how true wellness is built from the ground up. She believes that, much like the hive, we thrive when we live in alignment with the natural world around us.

Today, Kaylee speaks to audiences nationwide as an educator and workshop leader, sharing practical, encouraging guidance for those longing to live more rooted and connected lives. Through The Honeystead, her classes, and her writing, she gently reminds others that healing doesn’t require perfection—just small, steady steps forward and a willingness to learn something old in a modern world.
