Bees For Teaching
Donation protected
We are a sustainable development village community in the north part of urban Harrisonburg, VA. We offer regular tours to students of all ages from elementary school classes up to college classes. This is a permaculture demonstration site. Please help us to buy our bees in a sustainable way to establish bee colonies (nucs). Nucs have a much higher rate of survival and strength.
We will be able to hold beekeeping workshops, salve and candle making demonstrations and honey harvest demonstrations next summer!
The seasons are changing.
The snow has melted.
This land is draining into Black’s Run; getting herself ready for a burst of springtime growth. In living and growing, balance and peace is our goal.
Euell Gibbons once wrote: “All my life I have been fascinated by…bees and charmed with their honey. That unaided nature, utilizing a strange and complicated, symbiotic relationship between insects and flowers could create such a perfect sweet, still seems to me very wonderful indeed. Each time I cut a dripping square of …honeycomb and eat it, wax and all, I marvel at its perfection, which no processing could possibly improve.'
This year will be the first year we intentionally care for bees on this land.
There are bee boxes, equipment and mentorship available to us.
Two nucs will develop into colonies thriving on blooming gardens.
Bees supply honey for our health, beeswax for our candles and salves, pollination for our sustaining growth.New Community Project
