Hello everyone!
This past Tuesday Redwood's bees were ready for pickup in Tennessee Valley. Our bees were purchased from a local beekeeper named Jennifer Berry. On Tuesday morning, I set the bees up in their hive on campus. I have gone back to visit them twice since then, and they seem very happy and busy making honey. Until our bees fill up the base box with honey, they will have access to a feeder to ensure that they have enough food to keep strong. To keep insects out of the hive, a downward facing metal layer has been placed in between the foundation box and the hive itself. Keep your fingers crossed for an abundance of RHS honey next year at the SustAg farmers markets!
Sincerely,
Elsa Davis
