🍯 We’re buzzing to share that our community honey harvest took place this month at Cherry Tree Library 🐝
It was a fantastic session. We were excited to put the club's new jarring machine to work, which was a great help in getting all that lovely honey ready for everyone. (Though, as always, some things never change—we still had the same amount of tidying up to do afterward! 😉)
A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this harvest a success.
Interested in bees, beekeeping, or just supporting our local green spaces? Our friendly group meets the first Wednesday of every month from 5:30 PM at Cherry Tree Library. New members are always welcome! Come on down and see what the buzz is all about. 🌳
