The Honeybees of Marianmade Farm

The honeybees have arrived at Marianmade Farm! This has been in the works since last year, and we’re so excited they’re finally here. Beekeeper extraordinaire Tim Forrester (suited up below) arrived with his  handcrafted boxes filled with bees. The bees will thrive in the lavender and flower gardens throughout the farm, and we’re enjoying the process of learning about this fascinating species from Tim.  And, with any luck we’ll have some Marianmade honey to offer soon! Enjoy the photos below, and we urge you to read more about honeybees at the Maine State Beekeepers Association.
