December Notes ~
After taking a great workshop a few years ago that illuminated me that bee's can self medicate on the King Stropharia mushroom I am happy to report that we have installed an area with King Stropharia in the bee compound! Hope to see it up and going in the spring. I was surprised to see some active bees still out and about. Good that we still have lots of flowers managing to stay in bloom in December! Happy Holidays |

Thirsty Thirsty Bees!
Can you spot all of the thirsty bees in this picture? Sue Ann set out this water for the bees who have been happily drinking it up!

April 2017 Update
We have been hoping to install two new hives, but due to poor / cold weather they won’t be ready until next month.
We will be transferring our existing hive to a new style of hive in the next week or so. We are just waiting for a stretch of good weather that will last 2-3 days.
Once the new bees arrive, one of the broods will be going into our Observation Hive which Mark and Sue Ann are furiously working on to complete before the bees arrive.
Our existing bees are buzzing about, no doubt as happy as we are to finally see the sun!

The garden seems to be transforming everyday, thanks to this hardworking team that set the bones and foundation for the garden to come.
