Hello, Nice to Meet You

Meet The Witch

Hi! My Name is Eimi OstaraMoon

I am a misfit hailed from The Fragrant Harbor of the Pearl River, and the driving force behind Poison and Bee.

Poison and Bee grew out of my love for magical plants, especially the deadly ones, and honey bees. “Poison as medicine” is a concept I’ve always known, even when I didn’t realize it. Honey bees became part of my magical practice naturally after I started my own apiary and working closely with them.

Following the guidance of plant allies and honey bees, Poison and Bee is an ever-changing adventure. I invite you to join me on this journey into the mysteries of poisons and bees.

你好，我叫 Eimi 艾爾美。我係一個來自香港的毒花女巫和蜜蜂守護者，專門研究有毒花草和蜜蜂。我亦都係《Poison and Bee》背後的驅動力。

在植物盟友和蜜蜂精靈的指引下，《Poison and Bee》係一個變幻莫測的冒險之旅。我誠摯邀請您與我一同踏上這段探索有毒植物與蜜蜂奧秘的旅程。
