Pictured are two bumble bees on a Blue-wood aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium). The temperature was 48 degrees. The top bee, in the sunlight, was moving around, the bottom bee, in the shade, was still. After a few minutes the bottom bee started moving and then became active.

Bumble bees can begin foraging and flying when air temperatures reach about 40°F to 50°F. Bumble bees are warm-blooded insects. Before they can fly in chilly New Hampshire weather, they uncouple their wings and shiver their flight muscles to heat their bodies. Their dense, fuzzy coats trap body heat, allowing them to operate in cold snaps and early spring days. If you find a bumble bee sitting still or moving slowly on a cool morning or chilly spring day, it is usually not dying it is simply cold and waiting for the sun or its internal "shivering furnace" to warm it up enough to fly.

As the seasons change, it's time to tuck our Adopt-a-Spot in for a long winter's rest. Many thanks to Joyce Al-Darraji and Chris Drown for their efforts in preparing it for the colder months. We look forward to seeing it bloom again in the spring! 🌷🍃

Margery Sullivan Chapter enjoyed a wonderful day at the Fall Meeting today held at The Common Man Inn & Spa in Plymouth, NH. Congratulations to New Hampshire State Regent Marilyn Huston for a day filled with friendship, inspiration, learning, and DAR fellowship.

We were honored to welcome Vermont State Regent Barbara Foote-Hennessy and Maine State Regent Janice Teasenfitz, enjoyed an informative Genealogical Workshop presented by Simran Noon, and had fun creating Statue of Liberty crowns and torches as symbols of freedom and hope in celebration of the 140th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.

A special welcome to our newest Associate Members, Kathleen King and Victoria Currie-Girard! It was wonderful to meet them at the NH Fall Meeting, where they served as Pages with dedication and a smile.

Our chapter was also fortunate to bring home several beautiful chapter baskets!

The word ‘Pesticide’ is used to cover a variety of chemicals folks may use around the yard. Each pesticide is named after the organism it controls.

As we transition away from chemicals to a more natural control, how do we dispose of those pesticides? The following link will provide the information you need. https://extension.unh.edu/blog/2025/08/safe-responsible-pesticide-disposal-what-do-unused-products
