In this video we look at a medicinal bed that also serves as a farmscaping bed. We observe pollinators and consider the dangers of in-ground yellowjacket nests, how to spot them, and what to do if you get stung.

I've used Plantain numerous times when stung by insects including a pretty nasty Caterpillar that hangs out in mimosas (the name escapes me). Also, if a sting develops into cellulitis (for me this tends to happen frequently), a soak in Epsom salt water has worked amazingly to wipe out that infection.

Mr. Battle, you are such a treasure. An absolute gold mine of information. Thank you for sharing. I hope all is well with you. It's been a while since your last video here. Much love from a newbie
Yes, tobacco also works for stings. My step dad didn't smoke either, but his friend did. He spit on it and put it on my wasp sting. I remember being bummed about the spit, but it started working almost immediately. I was grateful. lol
