Last fall our bee population was decimated. You can read all about it here. Over the winter we lost two more hives. This year we are doubling down with a new apiary location, hives and 5 queens. We now have the best looking hives in central Ohio - hand painted by Maddie - with bee-friendly artwork. Their new home has a great view of our new cover crop field. Next month we’ll plant buckwheat, one of their favorites. Each queen comes with 3 lbs of friends - or 12,000 more bees. Their new home is buzzing with activity. We’re building stronger hives that will be able to ward off the late-season intruders.
