SUMMARY:Dandelion Day Festival
DESCRIPTION:As the dandelions come into full bloom at the Sanctuary\, we give a sigh of relief and a prayer of thanks. \nFor the beekeeper\, dandelions mark the end of scarcity—the page turning from worry\, shortage\, and diminishing colonies\, towards new growth\, health\, and the guarantee that our bees have survived yet another winter. Such is the value of this source of nectar and pollen for the bees. To see the fields spotted with those beautiful yellow flowers brings true joy to our hearts! \nWe invite you to come celebrate the new season with us at the Sanctuary! Join us for a tour\, visit our gift shop\, enjoy free dandelion-themed snacks and refreshments\, and learn more about what we all can do to help support the bees\, butterflies\, and hummingbirds. \nOur director\, Alex Tuchman\, will be giving a special talk at 2:00 pm!

SUMMARY:Winter Preparation Workshop

We will take a closer look at the various illnesses and probable causes\, as well as share our methods of hive feeding\, wrapping\, and consolidation for best possible over-wintering success.\nRegister at the link below! \nhttps://spikenardfarm.org/event/winter-preparation-4/…
