Follow the enjoyable story of how two enterprising Friday Harbor High School juniors chose as their Community Project assignment to raise funds to join in the effort to help save our honey bee population. They campaigned for their cause over the winter and purchased a brand new hive set-up along with the requisite bees (with queen). They then installed the hive at the Community Gardens.
Home orchardists, back yard beekeepers and Community Gardens provide haven for our honey bees. Come to the San Juan Island Garden Club meeting and learn simple, yet vital ways to enlarge the impact of this project begun by high school students and “the bees that came to Friday Harbor.”
Please join us for tea and coffee and a wonderful program.
