Busy bees

We're all busy as bees in our gardens now (rain or shine). It's still too cold for real bees, but they'll be here soon. There are some things we home gardeners can do to help them out. And lately, with global reports of widespread colony die-off, they could use the help.

Pistils Nursery is hosting a bee-keeping workshop Saturday, March 14 for $8. Sign-up now to reserve your spot. These workshops fill up fast!

From their website:

"Backyard Bee Keeping

Over the years, we have seen a rapidly growing interest in backyard bee keeping. We have established a relationship with a bee keeper who is an advocate of the "top-bar" hive philosophy, which is much easier and more accessible. Perfect for the urban backyard.

Come and glean fascinating how-to information about how to keep bees in your yard holistically and simply and receive an abundance of honey and increased pollination for the plants in your garden.

Send us an email at workshops@pistilsnursery.com to sign-up. Please provide your phone number in the email so we can reserve your spot."
