Nigel and I got a call from an alumni that the hive at the farm had swarmed. This formation in the photo is called bearding. Scout bees then go out and look for a new home that they can relocate to. They are now busy bees in their new hive up in our tree fort, (safest place from the bears).

Hope this finds you healthy and well. We certainly have had a string a beautiful days to remind us of how spring feels, lovely.
We are having to make the difficult decision to cancel the workshop scheduled for Saturday, March 21 with Bryan O'Hara. We are going to reschedule it and will send something out once we see how things begin to shape up. In the meantime, take some time to be outside and watch the amazing spring changes going on around us, it is some of our best medicine.

Warmly,
Joan
