I know it’s cold but get out and make sure your hive entrance has at least a small opening. The ice can seal the entrance and they still need to breath and ventilation is still important.

Fireflies don’t just appear in summer — they start their lives under fallen leaves.
Their larvae grow in the cool, damp leaf litter, keeping our soil healthy while preparing for their brief glowing season. 🌙

When we spray chemicals or remove every leaf, we erase their nursery.

Protect their leafy homes.
Protect the glow of summer. ✨

Not Weeds — Wildlife Food

Many plants we label as “weeds” play an important role in supporting local wildlife.

- Dandelions bloom early and offer bees some of their first accessible nectar and pollen of the season.

- Clover provides abundant nectar and pollen for a wide range of pollinators, from honeybees to native bumblebees.

- Native violets are the required host plants for many fritillary butterflies. Without violets, their caterpillars cannot survive.

When we treat lawns with broadleaf herbicides, we don’t just remove unwanted plants—we also remove the flowers that pollinators depend on for food.

Choosing not to spray allows these plants to grow and bloom, giving your lawn the chance to support bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. It becomes a small habitat, not just a patch of grass.

Hope to see you at the meeting on Monday. And “you” mean’s anyone having, thinking about having or just curious about the amazing Honey Bee.
