Bees are important to our world because they help with the pollination of flowers and crops, but being bothered by bees while outdoors can be a pesky situation. Instead of using an insect-killing spray, why not make a natural bee-repellant spray? Simply fill a reusable spray bottle with witch hazel oil and add a few drops of tea tree oil. Shake and spray the solution on your skin whenever you go outdoors and don't want to be bothered by bees. The medicinal smell from the witch hazel oil is obnoxious to bees and other insects, making this spray an excellent way to keep them away from you ... naturally.

The resale market for clothing is hotter than ever, with sites like eBay, TheRealReal and Poshmark helping consumers find new homes (and cash) for their lightly worn clothes. When reselling clothing, there are a few things you can do to maximize your profits. First, take plenty of photos showing the front, back and even any tears, stains or marks, to help manage buyers' expectations. Then download a measurement chart from the clothing brand's website and post it in your listing; since sizes differ from brand to brand, this will help customers fully understand the fit of the item.

Most of us have a "single-stream" recycling program, where items like glass bottles, tin and aluminum cans, cardboard boxes and paperboard are all commingled together and sorted at the recycling facility after collection. One way to make sure your recyclables are actually recycled is to prevent recyclable paper products from getting wet. In order to be recycled, paper products must remain as dry as possible. So if the forecast is calling for rain on the day of pickup, remove those paper items and just send out the rest. When the weather is clear, throw them back in.
