HoneyOla! The bees are working it

I look through my studio window and it’s a joy to see so many happy bees buzzing about. Last year they didn’t do so good. But it seems this year they’re thriving. Because of the cold, damp spring they got a late start, but the blackberry blossoms seem to be full of nectar (unlike last year) and the bees are making up for lost time. Soon @beegeek will pull some of the capped honey. It should be a good harvest for HoneyOla.

This was our first year as CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) subscribers. Every Wednesday we walk down the street to Persephone Farm and pickup our split-share of veggies, and every other week we get to also pick out a bouquet of colorful, fresh flowers. What a treat to have fresh flowers in the house. At Persephone they grow a wide variety of flowers, and do arrangements for weddings and special occasions, but the flowers planted among the rows of veggies serve another purpose, they attract pollinators and beneficial insects, and add diversity to the farm. The CSA is almost over for the year, I’ll miss our weekly visit to the farm, all the super fresh veggies, and our bouquets.
