Through weather and some set backs our first "bee island" is complete! What a lovely addition to the Sanctuary and for our visitors. The "bee island" sits at the crest of the hillside we are restoring and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The structure provides a wind break to protect the bees, much forage including Linden trees and echinacea to name a few along with a bench for visitors to watch the activity of the bees and to enjoy the serenity of the Sanctuary. A Sun Hive hangs within the "island", which is a wonderful accompaniment to our other hives. A naturally occurring swarm from our apiary was installed in the Sun Hive.
If you are interested in knowing what else is going on at the Sanctuary, please go to our website (www.spikenardfarm.org) and sign up for our newsletter. We will not overwhelm you with emails and we do not share your name with other organizations.
