The Bees
As many of you know we were once again at a loss for words last spring. Our bee hives were destroyed by a local family of black bears. While we are still committed to a hearty bee yard, we will be working to re-establish our compound this year. We appreciate all the kind words from friends and neighbors - Thank you!
We are new to beekeeping, and they teach us things all the time. They are quite fascinating to watch and are such a crucial part of the environment. We hope to be as good of stewards to them as they are to our world.
